MUSSELS STEAMED IN SPICY BEER
12-ounces lager (Miller Lite, Bud, etc)
2 bay leaves
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lemon wedges
36 mussels, scrubbed well in several changes of water and the beards scraped off
if necessary
minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish
In a kettle bring the beer to a boil with the bay leaves, the cloves, the
coriander seeds, the mustard seeds, the cayenne, the salt, and the lemon wedges
and boil the mixture, covered partially, for two minutes. Add the mussels, steam

mussels sprinkled with the parsley.
