I did a steamed mussels dish for Saturday afternoon. Used garlic, shallots, cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme and parsley, some red pepper flakes for heat, and sautéed it all in olive oil. for the steam, i used chicken broth and white wine. Also, I toasted up some baguettes with garlic infused olive oil. Total cost of meal, around $10. Total cost at restaurant, probably at least $60 for a table of 4.
