“While in Sarnia, Ontario, on business, I stayed at the Village Inn and had dinner at its restaurant, Monet’s Table,” says Melanie Cooke of Calgary, Alberta. “I thought I was being adventurous when I ordered the mussel appetizer my first night there. Obviously I’d lost my sense of adventure when I went back the second night and ordered it again.”
Makes 4 appetizer servings
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, then next 5 ingredients. Add mussels. Cover and steam until mussels open, about 7 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open). Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large bowl. Simmer sauce uncovered until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.

Hey, this recipe looks absolutely delicious. We’re sure the jalapenos bring some much needed kick to the sauce, but the tequila is a nice addition. Keep up the great work.
