I love mussels and always look for various ways to serve them. I found this recipe by Sue Riedl in this morning's Globe and Mail. My comments are incorporated into this recipe and I've included some instructions on working with mussels. Lemongrass can be found in most grocery stores in it's natural form - I've also used lemongrass paste from a [...]
Another 30 minute recipe for you to try. This is for a rack of lamb or shoulder blade chops – the marinade doesn’t change, just the cooking method, and Couscous.
