Mussels Steamed with Chili Powder, Garlic and White Wine
Mussels are easy to prepare as they only need to steam about 5 minutes or so. We've learned that the secret to flavorful steamed mussels is to properl flavor the liquid added to the pot. Garlic is a favorite, so don't be shy. Be generous. We added chili powder here since we enjoy our food with a kick. Also, try beer instead of wine and see how you like the flavor.
