Mussels in a pan
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Pan-fried mussels are very simple to make. The most important thing to understand is when the mollusks are done. They are ready the moment their shells open. Discard any mussels that haven't opened. Tomato sauce goes perfectly with mussels; in my opinion, no other sauce can reveal the original flavor of these seafood. I recommend serving mussels with chilled white wine, Italian toasts, and a wonderful mood :) Good luck! The dish is ready and can be served.
