    Good recipe. I used plain yogurt. Garlic would be a nice addition. Very quick and easy. -Sean

    The recipe has potential but there was WAY too much parsley for my taste. My husband who loves strong flavors scraped the sauce off his mussels. The second batch of sauce I made I used 1/4 cup of parsley 1/8 c. fresh oregano a 1/2 cup of feta cheese and three cloves of garlic. Awesome - Read more ...
