If you’re looking for a seafood dish that is inexpensive and easy to make, just pick up a few pounds of mussels. They’re delicious when combined with garlic, onions, and tomatoes in a wine sauce, either red or white. We often find ourselves believing that these dishes are too complicated to prepare, not realizing that in just a few minutes you and your family can be enjoying a delicious meal.
