Mussels in Beer with Coriander and Lime

Rating 4 out of 5 stars Based on 10 ratings

Any good pale lager will work well with this dish. The twang of beery bitterness balances with the sweet plumpness of the mussels. Taste the juices before serving; if the bitterness is too pronounced for your tastes, soften it by stirring in a touch of sugar.

Waitrose places a great emphasis on its support of local and regional suppliers. Our work in this area enables our branches to reflect the character and regionality of the area in which they trade, as well as continuing our work of reconnecting shoppers with producers. We now offer over 100 beers through our ‘Locally produced’ initiative and an increasing number of branches stock a selection of beers brewed within a 30 miles radius.
