Mussels in Belgium
October 21, 2009 at 9:37 am 1 comment
I have just returned from Belgium bearing a special saucepan in which the national dish of steamed mussels can be cooked and served. Besides touring us all over their beautiful country, our Belgian hosts cooked us the traditional supper of moules (mussels) and frites (French fries) one evening. Our young friend Sofie made the frites in record time by cutting the potatoes in perfectly uniform sticks, then twice-frying them in her special frite pan. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Luc cleaned the mussels and took off any beards. He steamed them in 3 batches, using a different flavouring for each batch. I cannot believe it, but we ate 5 kilos of mussels, and I lost count of the number of delicious frites accompanied of course, with mayonnaise.

Hi Rose, I have traditionally made your amazing recipe for Yuletide Log that was published in the Nov/Dec Homemaker’s Magazine (Issue 1990) and I sadly have lost the final page of the recipe-and it is not the kind of recipe that you can just wing it:( Can you help me out?
Merry Christmas!
