Here's a nicko_cairns original and a super fast recipe for an entree, or just a snack when you have guests. Make sure they like mussels first though lol. If you want to go fancy use a nice serving dish instead of the coffee mug.
Put 1/4 tsp or slightly less of raw crushed garlic into the bottom of a coffee mug, then 3/4 fill the mug with frozen mussel meat (yep frozen so you can make this anytime), then put about a cap full of white wine into the mug (no more, that's plenty with the water that comes off the frozen mussels). Zap the mug in the microwave on high for a minute and thirty seconds, then stir in a tsp of butter and rip some chives and sprinkle them on top, give the cup a good stir until the butter has melted and there's your entree/snack done.
Enjoy.
And yes you could use shallots and ginger, cream, chilli etc but the idea is that this is a super fast way to enjoy some mussels.
If you have the time, mussels come up a treat when cooked in a pressure cooker (as does squid and octopus too!).
Cheers.
that is awesome nicko!!
that has gotta be good with crisp white wine or cold beer
sure is mate and super quick which is what I like about it!

The smell would fill the smoko room in about two seconds!
Just thinking I have not seen Black Mussels for a few years only see the big green NZ ones, which are nice yet still like the black ones, they used to be common?
