Mussels Steamed with Chili Powder

Mussels are so incredibly easy to steam. You just pop them into a pot and let it go. The key is flavoring the liquid. In this case, we've added plenty of garlic and chili powder to the mix for a wonderful flavor. The oil will help the flavors stick to the mussels.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds mussels
• 1 cup white wine
• 5 teaspoons chili pepper oil (or olive oil)
• 3 teaspoons chili pepper powder
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Cooking Directions

• Clean and soak the mussels
• In a large pot, add wine, oil, chili powder and minced garlic. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.
• Add mussels and cover. Steam about 5 minutes, or until the shells open.
• Serve!
