MUSSELS IN GUINNESS & GARLIC
This recipe is based on one of the most popular starters at "The Brazen Head" in Dublin, Ireland. This pub is reputed as not only the oldest in Dublin, but also as one of the oldest pubs in all of Ireland...serving patrons for 800 years. "The Brazen Head" is known for providing good food and drink, traditional Irish music, and, of course, lively conversation. Pub grub has always been some of my favorite food. Don't wait for St. Patrick's Day to enjoy this wonderful dish!!!

Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells. Any mussels with open shells should be discarded.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub them with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a large pot: Mussels will expand as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent them from overcrowding.
- Cook the mussels over high heat: This will help to create steam and open the shells quickly.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels are done cooking when they are opaque and the shells have opened.
- Serve the mussels with a variety of dipping sauces: Some popular options include melted butter, garlic butter, and white wine sauce.
