Eating well doesn't need to be time and labor intensive or even be expensive. Steamed mussels are delicious and take very little time to make. They are my favorite seafood, as I don't feel guilty indulging in them because they are sustainable. This meal can be made start to finish in 30 minutes and makes a lovely lunch or a simple dinner served with crusty bread and a salad. I also like to enjoy mine with a nice glass of rose or bubbles.
