I pan fry with a small amount of butter a few carrots, some garlic, a couple of celery stalks and a bit of pepper. (The fancy ones from the larder, like the Madagascar pepper – VOATSIPERIFERY PEPPER)
Add the mussels and let them steam, then add some cream.
Finally, finish it off with some freshly cut curly parsley.
You can significantly upgrade the Tesco mussels…
2X500g Tesco mussels is ideal for 3 to 4 people. (That’s £5.50 in 2023 money…)
A few French fries cooked in Peanut Oil
And a glass of white wine (obviously).
