Mussels in garlic sauce

Cookinero 23 Dec 2025

The Irish started breeding mussels back in the 13th century. They lowered oak trunks into the water and planted mussels with eggs on them. After a few years, a colony formed, the mollusks grew, and then they could be collected. But for us, something else is important: this product is a real protein bomb, and the protein is absorbed perfectly. And the main bonus is the taste! Mussels are really very tasty, especially with garlic sauce.
