Seattle Mussels Mariniere
After having a wonderful dinner of mussels in a seattle restaurant, i came home and tried to replicate the lovely dish. After several attempts at replication, i came up with one as close as i could. It is very nice and flavorful. be sure to serve with a crusty bread to mop up the lovely broth.
