Mussels with Garlic and Breadcrumbs
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Farmed Australian blue mussels are one of the most sustainable seafood choices you can make. Mussels are a protein source that doesn’t cost the earth. And they play an important role in keeping the waters clean and in balance. In fact, if we didn’t have mussels in the oceans, mother nature would pay the price. They keep oxygen levels in check, which can help to prevent algae blooms that can be harmful to other sea life.
If you want to reduce your impact on the environment by choosing more planet-friendly meat sources… mussels are clearly a smarter choice. And you’ll get even more protein and iron than from a fillet of steak. You’ll get your protein fix and enjoy the full-bodied creamy rich flavour of mussels.
