Last night's dinner was another "new to us" dish - steamed mussels in garlic butter sauce. We've had mussels in restaurants, and enjoyed them, but never made them at home before. But Lowes Foods had Pier 33 Mussels on sale BOGO last week, plus put out an InstaSave coupon on them besides. At that price, I couldn't resist.
The verdict - DELICIOUS! And they couldn't have been easier - just cut open the vacumn-packed bag containing mussels-in-shell with sauce, dump it in a large skillet, cover and heat through. I'll definitely be buying these again when they're on sale. (Still not sure I'd be willing to buy them raw and steam them myself, but this is a start.)
I served them with a loaf of crusty bread from the bread machine to sop up all the yummy broth, and a Caesar salad.
Totals:
$3.99 - mussels ($4.99 BOGO - $1 InstaSave coupon)
.50 - ingredients for bread
$1.33 - hearts of romaine (bag of 3/$2 at Aldi - best price in town)
.25 - Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, croutons (all free or nearly free after triple coupons)
$6.07 for dinner for 3
