Mussels Recipe
Bonjour.
I came all the way to south of France to eat these mussels–Moules à la Marinière, or French/Belgium-style mussels cooked with white wine, onions, and parsley.
Not that I can’t get mussels in California, but eating these mussels right here in a Mediterranean coastal town just adds to the authenticity and–most importantly–the flavors.
