Washing Up
My brother gave me a pound bag of frozen mussels in a butter/garlic sauce. The instructions are to place the contents in a covered pan and bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes longer. According to my brother the mussel shells will open. I know not to eat the ones that don't open and I'm a little puzzled as to why, since they aren't alive, they will still open.
But really, my question is this: what should I serve them with? I'm thinking linguini. Not sure what, if any, additional seasonings they might require. I've only ever had mussels in soup and a mixed seafood dish we had when John and I were on the road.
Any insight?
