Mussels With Egg Sauce Recipe

(Arselle in salsa d'uovo)

A good washing with fresh water is sufficient for mussels that do not

have any sand to be cleaned away. Put them on the fire with a sauce of

oil, garlic, parsley and a pinch of pepper. Shake them and keep the

saucepan covered seeing that they do not absorb all of the sauce. Take

them out when they are open and prepare the following sauce: one or more

yolks of egg, according to the quantity, lemon juice, one teaspoonful of

flour, broth and some of their own juice. Cook this sauce until it

becomes a smooth cream and pour it on the mussels when they are served.
