Anyone any mussel recepies?

We often have mussels when we eat out but have little idea how to cook or what sauce recipies to use can anyone help please?

I cook them in white wine, after you`ve washed & cleaned em well put in largish pan sprinkle with finely chopped/crushed garlic enough white wine to cover the botton/half glass full approx, bring to boil with tight fitting lid & simmer till they open You can remove them & add cream to the cooking liquid or leave it as it is

Sounds yummy and simple will definately try that, thanks.

I like simple cleaning thems the worst bit hope you enjoy em

This recipe comes from one of the top seafood restaurants in Auckland NZ called Harbourside - their food is divine...
