What I love most about Mediterranean cuisine is its simplicity. For me, mussels in white wine are one such dish. All you need are fresh mussels, clean them, toss them into a hot pan with a clove of garlic, olive oil, and white wine, and in 10-15 minutes, a steaming plate of fragrant food with a subtle sea aroma is ready. Besides the ease of preparation, I adore the delicate taste of mussels, lightly enhanced by the wine's acidity and the barely perceptible scent of garlic and parsley. Plus, a whole pan of wine-steamed mussels with crispy toasted ciabatta makes for a wonderful light dinner for the whole family.
