Ingredients: 4 pounds (1920 g) mussels, scrubbed and rinsed, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, 6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely sliced, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1½ cups (375 ml) tomato sauce, 1/2 cup (125 ml) breadcrumbs

Instructions: Preheat broiler. In a large saucepan, pour 1 inch (2.5 cm) water, then add scrubbed mussels, cover, and boil over high heat until mussels open. Drain cooked mussels and transfer to a serving dish. Keep warm.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and parsley, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Pour in lemon juice and remove the saucepan from the heat.

Fill each mussel shell with a small amount of tomato sauce, then coat with breadcrumbs and garlic butter. Broil in the preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes.

Variations:

• Replace tomato sauce with creamed spinach purée.
• Remove mussels from their shells, then place 10-12 shelled mussels in small ramekins and follow the recipe.
• Replace ramekins with puff pastry shells, then increase the amount of tomato sauce.
• Before final broiling, add a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese and 6 bacon slices, cut into small pieces.
• Add 1/3 cup (80 ml) finely sliced stuffed olives and 2 tablespoons anchovy fillets.
• Shell the mussels and place them on small skewers. Coon in a large nonstick skillet.
