  Have made this several times, but I grate some parmesan cheese with the breadcrumbs and put under the grill to brown without butter, excellent and well received by visitors

  I made these for a starter and they went down a treat, very tasty but simple to do and can be prepared well in advance, will be trying these again with parmesan as mentioned above and also would be nice with the chilli, corriander and lime butter for a thai twist :)

  Very good can be made well in advance and just finished off before serving - excellent as an aperitif for a large group of people.

  If you throw away mussels that have not opened after cooking you are wasting money this is a myth believed to have been started by Jane Grigson in her 1973 publication FISH BOOK. Nick Ruella a Fish biologist and mussel expert has proved this. Prior to Jane Grigsons book no cookery books had this in them try looking at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation web site abc.net.au in the science section under Mussel myth an open and shut case
