Mussel Shoals

Went foraging at a local beach for some mussels  - this is the best time of year for them, perhaps because there's not a lot else around over winter! We did have a look for early crabs and lobster but only found juveniles.

The wild garlic has been out for a while now and seemed like it might go well with the mussels. We picked enough of both to test the theory out and it worked a treat. The wild garlic leaves were roughly chopped and wilted in butter. A glug of white wine was then added and the mussels were steamed until they opened. A splash of single cream was thrown in at the end. Served up with homemade bazlama bread (thanks for that recipe Burcu!).

Anyway, we made a short film of it for posterity. The beach isn't actually called Mussel Shoals, but it should be.....
