10 perks for serving up ‘merry mussel meals’ this holiday!
Preparing meals during the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful, especially when you keep it simple (and delicious) by serving up fresh PEI Mussels
Fabulous Finger Food
Try using mussel shells instead of forks to grab that delicious mussel meat because you should spend time with friends and family; not with the kitchen sink.
Easy To Cook
There’s no guessing when mussels are cooked as their shells open up to let you know they’re done; unlike some other ‘gobble gobble’ dishes where you are constantly checking on them.
Delicious Festive Broths
All you need to steam mussels with wine is enough to cover the bottom of the pot; thus leaving the rest of the bottle to share with friends and to toast your guests.
Time Savers
Fresh steamed mussels take just 5-7 minutes to cook; they’re a meal you won’t be in the kitchen all day preparing for as you deal with the holiday hustle & bustle.
Washed & Ready To Go
Prep time is quick as PEI Mussels have their beards (threads that allow mussels to attach to one another when growing) all removed; leave having ’beards’ this time of year to Santa!
Ideal For ‘Steamy’ Nights
If you’re able to pawn the kids off and have a date night over the holidays, it’s been said mussels raise levels of both testosterone and estrogen. (wink wink)
Impress Your Guests
Cooking mussels is easy but not everyone knows that; with just a few aromatic ingredients added to the broth, you’ll feel like a culinary hero for when the in-laws are over.
The Ultimate Power Food
It’s the holidays with not-so-good-for-you snacks around every corner; from nutritious to delicious, PEI Mussels are loaded with nutrients while being light on calories.
Perfect For Any Guest List
A big bowl to share during casual get-togethers or half-shell hors d’oeuvres for fancy-festive gatherings; no matter the party, PEI Mussels have you covered.
