Mussel Salsa Verde

The vinegary mussels pair so well with the parsley and garlic. It's a really versatile sauce that goes well on many different occasions, and perfectly compliments fried meat and fish! The Pickled Mussel Salsa Verde is perfect for making over barbecues, taco nights, or over dinner when paired with a nice piece of pork schnitzel! It works also really well as a dipping sauce for croquettes, or a spread for some sourdough bread.
