As anyone who follows my blog is aware by now, I love seafood and PEI mussels are a staple. This recipe is one that is really simple and delightfully enjoyable. Using fresh garden tomatoes, white wine, garlic, and herbs these mussels make a fantastic appetizer or light dinner.
I like to serve them with a fresh baguette for dipping in the lovely garlic butter sauce. Serve with a nice craft beer or chardonnay.
