This is an excellent recipe! The broth was amazing. The only change I made was adding more oregano and garlic.

Bought cleaned mussels that made this dish really quick and easy to prepare! Taste great but th only prob is that there is too little broth for all, so I took the liberty of doubling the measurements for the broth. Turned out yummy. Thanks!

Very easy and very good. I made the recipe as written, but next time would add another clove of garlic (just because I like garlic).
