How To Make Steamed Belgian Mussels at Home | Dining Traveler Cooking Series

Welcome to Episode Two of the Dining Traveler Cooking Series!

Last week we were in Puerto Rico, and now we travel to... Belgium! I lived in Brussels for six years and fell in love with the food. One of my favorite dishes is steamed Belgian Mussels in white wine. This dish is super easy to make, and you can find all the ingredients at most supermarkets. Also, who doesn't like to have a glass (or two) of wine while they cook?

The beauty of steamed mussels is that it is a versatile recipe. You can also make them with beer or even coconut milk and curry.

Here's my recipe:

Serves four as an appetizer
Two as the main course

2-3 lbs of mussels
3 tbsps of butter
One medium onion
2 tbsp of minced garlic
One leek, chopped in half moons
Two celery stalks, thinly sliced (double if you skip the leeks)
Dry White Wine
A handful of chopped parsley

Cooking instructions are in the video!
Bon Appétit
Eet Smakelijk

Any guesses where we are going next week (through food, of course)?
