Beer-Steamed Mussels With Bacon Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

Aside from mussels, there are few other seafoods that so easily lend themselves to quick cooking, and even faster eating. After all, to manipulate a mound of mussels into a meal, a simple steam in broth or other flavorful liquid is all that is needed to pop the bivalves open. But fast doesn't have to be bland. In fact, i find the belgian method of steaming mussels with a white ale to be of the utmost flavorespecially when the whole mess is embellished with crunchy bacon.
