ReplyDeleteYum... Looks delicious. I will have to try it out soon. I might use a light coconut milk with a splash of dry white wine, instead of prosecco though. Thanks for the idea!

@Vincent: Light coconut milk with white wine sounds good to me too! Thanks for the tips!
When I got to the fish store, there were no mussels, so I substituted little necks (Venus mercenaria, a hard-shell clam of the Atlantic coast). Most excellent!
