Tip

For two people you will need 1-1.25kg (2-2lb 8oz) of fresh mussels. Choose mussels that, before cooked, close firmly after giving them a good tap and have perfect shells. Soak the mussels in fresh water for 15 minutes, then pull off their beards with a sharp tug. Mussels are at their best from midwinter to the end of summer.
