RECIPE 12: Mussels

When I bought the mussels, they had half of the shell off and yes, they are FRESH. Once i opened the plastic wrap, WOW. The aroma! The freshness and sweetness of the smell of the mussels. I thought I could just eat it raw!

Anyway, the picture of the mussels, my younger sister took the picture, well she isn't an ideal photographer like me 3:) xD



Mussels washed and drained under running water. Do not soak them, the fresh mussels will DIE under fresh water.

• Get a pan out.( The number of mussels i bought were 14)
• Olive Oil in the pan.
• Small Heat 
• Pour a cup of Drinking water into the pan.
• Yes it smokes quite a lot, so careful when oil touches the water.
• Mince Garlic, 6 cloves.
• Throw it in the pan.
• Parsley flakes or fresh parsley. Chop them up roughly and throw it into the pan.
• Use a wooden spatula and just move the mussels around.
• Their salty juices would be coming out.
• Medium Heat.
• The water turns chalky.
• Since the juices from the mussels are salty, you don't need to put a lot of salt. Just 2 pinches of salt will do.
• Then, the secret ingredient. Sugar. 1 sprinkle will do and they will never know. BUAHAHAHA 3:) (Feeling devilish today)
• Stir for 5-8 minutes depending on the number of mussels you have. 
• Once 5 minutes are up, Take a shell and drink the 'mussel soup' you made with the mussel. If it's too raw, cook it longer in a slightly lower than medium heat but higher than low heat. 
• Enjoy!
