There are many ways to prepare mussels and until last weekend I had not tried this one. The mussels in tomato and vegetable broth that we prepare today have some similarities with the mussels in American sauce that we all know. Do you dare to try this new recipe?
Has no difficulty prepare this recipe that can become a great starter at an upcoming family gathering. As always when working with mussels, it is important to discard all those that are not well closed before cooking and clean them thoroughly.
