One of the things I miss from the South is the variety of fresh seafood not available in the Midwest. If you have access to fresh mussels you wil love this dish. This is my version of a dish we used to have at a little restaurant in Virginia

  5. Add the garlic and sautee for another minute
  6. Add mussles and basil
  7. Pour vermouth, wine and pernod over them and cover pan
  8. When mussles just begin to open, add remaining butter or oil.
  9. Cover and continue steaming
  10. When mussels are fully open and plump, about 3-4 minutes divide into 4 bowls sharing broth among all.
