Beer Steamed Mussles

This recipe makes a seriously good Belgian pub style steamed mussels that go perfectly with (sweet potato) fries and mayonnaise.


Adapted from Serious Eats, serves two

Ingredients

4 bacon rashers, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft.
