Black Pepper Mussels image

In this dish, raw mussels are combined with freshly ground pepper in a skillet over a very hot flame; they should be eaten piping hot. Liana DiMeglio of Liana's Trattoria in Fairfield, Connecticut, brought this recipe from Naples, Italy, years ago.

Not a fan. The mussels were gritty and the sauce was too heavy.

Worst mussels I've ever had. The sauce was watery and the mussels were rubbery.

This recipe was a disaster! The mussels were tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the mussels were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

The mussels were a bit gritty, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of mussel next time.

I love mussels and this recipe was a great way to cook them. The black pepper sauce was a nice twist on the classic white wine sauce.

I made this recipe for my friends and they all raved about it! The mussels were plump and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and addictive. I will definitely be making this again.
