What timing! Although I have eaten mussels many times, October 17 was the very first time I cooked them, and (if I do say so myself!) they were great. A friend and I ate every last one, and he raved about the flavor the whole time. This is my own recipe.

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup white wine
¾ cup tomato and clam juice cocktail
3 cloves garlic - peeled and sliced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a stock pot, combine the wine, juice cocktail, garlic and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and add mussels.
  • Cover and continue to boil for about 4 to 6 minutes or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that haven't opened.
