Mel's Mussel Hot Pot
Mussels, broth, lemon, a little heat… left to come together slowly, until something simple becomes deeply nourishing. Affordable, generous, and full of life. Food that stretches, that feeds many, that turns what we have into what our body needs.
Preparation
Combine all broth ingredients in a medium to large pot and bring to a boil. Add mussels and boil until shells open or they thaw (if pre-cooked and frozen). Serve with garlic bread for dipping and enjoy.
