Method

Wash and remove the beards from the mussels. Place the mussels in a shallow pan, cover the pan and leave over high heat until the mussels have opened. Remove the mussels from the shells, reserving 4 in their shell for decoration. Strain and reserve the mussel liquor.

Fry the garlic and parsley briefly in the olive oil, add the sun-dried tomatoes and the olives, fry for a few seconds. Ad
