I was raised to not eat Red Meat on Good Friday. This is a tradition I have kept up with my own family. This recipe is perfect for such a day.

I however do not eat mussels. Hubby and kids love them. You could also poach other seafood in this liquid too.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of Mussels (scrubbed, cleaned and beards removed)
• 2 tablespoon Intense Garlic Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4-6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 2cm piece of ginger, grated
• 500ml of Stock of your choice
• 1 teaspoon of Saffron Salt
• Good squeeze of lemon juice
  OPTIONAL : Fresh Chilli for added heat

Method:

1. Bring stock and other aromatics to the boil.
2. Pop in mussels and cover.
3. Steam until opened.
4. Serve with crusty bread.
