Black Sea Mussels in Butter
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Bulgarian dishes.
What it is
Fresh Black Sea mussels, often smaller and very flavorful, cooked simply in generous amounts of butter, usually with a splash of dry white wine and fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
Key ingredients
Black Sea mussels, butter, dry white wine, fresh dill/parsley, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening the sauce. Request without bread, which is almost always served alongside for dipping. Confirm dry white wine is used, not a sweet variety.
Say this to the waiter (Bulgarian)
Моля, без брашно или нишесте в соса. Сервирайте без хляб. Само със сухо бяло вино.
No flour or starch in the sauce, please. Serve without bread. Use dry white wine only.
