COOKING TIPS:

Fresh mussels in the shell are the best for this recipe. Do not cook any open mussels, they are dead and will cause food poisoning. You can check if the mussels are alive by tapping and waiting. If the shell closes, they are safe to eat. On the other hand, cooked mussels should be all the way open. Do not overcook them or they will be rubbery.

SERVE WITH:

Serve Midia Saganaki with pita bread or on a meze platter.
