Mussels in Parchment

2.5

(1)

Paper clips are useful for tightly sealing these simple appetizer packages. Foil is a good substitute for the parchment. (Paper clips are not necessary with foil; just crimp the edges to seal tightly.) Be sure to discard any mussels that do not open.

    6 Appetizer Servings

Ingredients

Olive oil
