Mussels Sailor Style (Moules Mariniere) image

Every year we host a mussel party. The number of attendees continues to increase as word gets out about how great this recipe is. I always serve these mussels with plenty of crusty breads (french loaves, focaccia etc.) for dipping as the juices are just amazing.

This is my favorite way to cook mussels. The white wine and garlic add a lot of flavor to the broth. I also like to add a little bit of chopped parsley at the end for a pop of color.
