Mussels

 

DAILY RECIPE

Mussels (Not from Brussels, but Belgian Anyway)

SUBMITTED BY: Edda 

A favourite in any month that does not carry the letter 'R', once again, a typical dish from the north of Belgium and the south of Holland. Usually served with fries and a sourish salad dressing to dip the mussels in. It is a real get-together-in-the-kitchen-dish, as it is usually prepared in 3 or 4 batches every time in the same liquid, which gets better and better.

This dish is reminiscent of dining in an outdoor cafe in the south of France. Serve with crusty bread, and a nice chilled glass of white wine. This exact recipe can also be used for clams. 

Southern California Cioppino

Submitted by: Becky Wergers 
This popular dish originated around Monterey Bay, California. This version, created in San Diego, has a southwest flavor.

Nice served in large, shallow bowls alongside crusty sourdough bread, a green salad, and chilled white wine. You can vary the seafood according to the catch of the day, yours or your market's.
