Here’s a lovely one, it takes these banging Brancaster Mussels to the next level. They make a wonderful starter with some crusty sourdough.

• 250g Brancaster Mussels (or rope grown from the supermarket)
• 50g Butter
• 1 Clove of Garlic (Crushed)

In a dry pan cook the mussels until they have all opened. Drain the mussels and then pull off the empty half shell. Lay the side with the mussel meat in on a tray.  In a small pan melt the butter and add the garlic. Once melted spoon the butter over the mussels and then grill (broil) the mussels for about 3 minutes. Once that’s done, serve with some bread.
