Cooking tips 💡

• Gorgonzola, as a blue cheese, has a strong moldy aroma and saltiness. Start with a small amount and adjust gradually to taste.
• If mussels are cooked too long in the sauce, they become tough and shrink. The key secret is to remove them as soon as they open and reduce the sauce separately.
• Crusty bread like garlic bread or crostini dipped in the thick sauce makes an excellent pairing.

Recommended for 🙋

• ⭐Those who want to enjoy a European-style dish with unique and deep flavors instead of ordinary mussel soup or stew.
• ⭐Those looking for a high-end appetizer that pairs perfectly with dry white wine or sparkling wine.
