Mussels
Mussels make a light and tasty meal. The broth they create when they are cooking can be flavored in many different ways. This flavored broth may just be the best part. A piece of crusty bread or some garlic bread is the perfect vehicle for soaking up every last drop. Serve over pasta or rice and the broth becomes a flavorful sauce.
All you need to make a savory pan of mussels is a large high sided pan and a few ingredients for flavoring. The flavor combinations are limited only by your own personal tastes.
