Mussels in the traditional way
Cook the mussels according to the general recipe. Remove the mussels from their shells. Place 25 half shells on each of the four plates and put a mussel in each shell half. Mix the mayonnaise with the cooled cooking liquid and stir in the chopped herbs. Season the sauce with the Tabasco. Distribute the herb sauce evenly over the mussels.
Mussels like in Normandy
You really don't always have to go to Normandy to live like a God in France. The way they prepare mussels there, you can easily do in your own kitchen. And that's with apple and calvados. Highly recommended to try this yourself.
