wild mussels (Star Island, NH, 2011) |
throw away any broken shells, de-beard and wash the mussels |
outdoor cooking is great for cooking food with a strong odor and for cooking in the heat of summer |
sauté onions, scallions, garlic, curry powder, and basil leaves |
add the mussels and cook until all the mussels opened up |
my favorite part of cooking...EATING! |
