"Saw this been cooked on the SBS food channel and it looks delicious and hoping to make a half recipe for myself tonight. Most of the prep time is in the scrubbing and debearding of the mussels. The only problem I had with this recipe is that I found the broth at the end to be very salty even though no salt had been added, only pepper but even adding more pepper did not help this so maybe my mussels were very salty but this dish overall was still very enjoyable and the mussel meat was definately tender and had the flavour of the garlic and parsley."
