Saffron-Steamed Mussels

Everyone likes eating with their fingers, and mussels are a fun way to do so—while minding your manners. Victoria de la Maza

This is a wonderful and simple dish to make, as it only takes about 15 minutes for the mussels to cook. Just be sure to plan ahead and start soaking them 40 minutes before you’re ready to start.

Steamed mussels allow for all sorts of different sauces and cooking liquids, changing the profile of the dish as you like. White wine, coconut milk, or curry sauce are all flavorful alternatives to broth.
