How to prepare mussels

For our mussels recipe to turn out well, it is best to use fresh mussels. Although it may seem complicated to prepare mussels at home, it actually isn't. Here's how you can prepare mussels at home:

  • Store your mussels in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Throw away any open, cracked or chipped mussels.
  • Remove the hairy bits (the beard) by pulling down and towards the corner of the shell.
  • Scrub off any remaining dirt from the shells.
  • Pat the mussels dry with a kitchen towel.
