  Very tasty would definately do this again but I would use double cream for a thicker sauce next time I made this, but very nice enjoyed by all.

  A really easy and quick dish which the children loved too. I did use double cream for the sauce and it was lovely. Served with crusty bread or chips, Yum.

  Didn't have cream to hand so used most of a 200g tub of creme fraiche. Soaked up the sauce with hot garlic focacia bread. Lovely!

  We could have been in Chamonix!! A totally gorgeous restaurant quality recipe. I particularly loved the freshness of the coriander with the creamy garlic sauce :)

  I was so worried about cooking this- especially as it was the first of an ambitious 3 course valentines meal and I'd never cooked mussels before, but I needn't have been worried- it was the easiest thing I think I've ever cooked and tasted delicious; my partner asked for seconds and as it's such a small list of items, it's a memorable recipe for when I'm next walking around the supermarket. Serve with no-fuss broken off baguette to mop up the cream. A cheap sunday night luxury meal I'd say. The whole lot came to less than £5!
