I love seafood. I especially love ordering mussels that gets served with a broth because I love dipping my crusty bread in that sauce. Perfect dish to make if you are a pescatarian or if you are being abstinent from meat.  You can serve this as an appetizer or eat as a meal. Not an original recipe, but made a few editions from the original one =)

Here is my recipe that will serve 2-3 people.

1. Clean the mussels and remove beard as shown on the video below and discard any mussles that will not close.
2. In a pot, heat up the butter and olive oil.

5. Bring mixture to a boil and add mussels.
