Serve with frites for a true Belgian feast. This 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 with each batch.
Good Stuff! I cut the recipe in half because eight pounds of mussels seemed like a lot. The 4 of us were so enamored with these mussels that I wish I had gotten the extra four pounds to make the next day! Good and simple, but you feel like you're cooking dinner in someones seaside villa! - 03 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I fell in love with Mussels when I spent a fall in Belgium and this recipe was so delightful and easy. I added 1 small red pepper and 1/2 a portabella mushroom as I had them handy. . - 01 Dec 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
