Mussels With Pasta
Unlike Malaysia, UK is not blessed with abundance king prawns or meaty crabs. Luckily, mussels thrive in the UK water and they are affordable for me to do some food experiments.
Here they are, fresh Scottish mussels with shells all scrubbed clean for cooking:
Ready a big pot, dizzles a bit of olive oil (butter will be better) and saute some chopped garlics (5 cloves) , diced onion ( one small one) and few sticks of celery:
Once they are a little bit brown, add some water into it. Add a pinch of salt, and let it boils for 20 mins. After that, you should a good vegetable stock to cook the mussels with.
Add the mussels, chopped parsley, and fresh grounded pepper:
Mix it with pasta:
Garnish with more parsley and it is ready to serve:

I would also put white wine in the sauce, and probably some fresh pepper to serve.
Inspired by Belgo!!!
yeah.. white wine will be ideal. Unfortunately, I was cooking it for a muslim housemate. He won't able to eat it if it is cooked with white wine.
I will try it the next time :) thanks for the tip!
