Ingredients:

1 kg of Mussels
1 onion
3 tbsp olive oil
2 bottles of Beer @elmirbrewery Pilsner
1 tsp black mustard seeds
Maldon salt
Black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Parsley (I omitted the garlic to which i’m intolerant and skipped the celery, carrots and fennel bulb that I didn’t have)

Method of Preparation:

Over medium heat place a large pot and add the olive oil, chopped onion, black mustard seeds, salt and some beer.Cook for 4 minutes.
Add the mussels then the beer, cover the pot with the lid and cook for 7 minutes.

Tur off the heat.You can add some coconut cream or if you wish to keep it #lowcalories just add some black pepper.
Plating: sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley leaves and red pepper flakes.
Enjoy this satiating meal with a glass of Beer. I chose this #pilsner as it has a medium-dry crisp with a floral bouquet and subtle bready and malty aromas sustained by a slight bitterness that pairs well with #mussels
Bon App’ xx .
