Steamed PEI Mussels with Wine in Egg Cream Sauce

When we first published this recipe at the end of last year, conventional wisdom had us thinking about entertaining for guests at the crest of the Yuletide. But you know what? This recipe is a good deal more versatile than that. Its origins track back hundreds, if not thousands of years, and perhaps one of the reasons it endures is that it’s as useful as it is delicious and healthy.
