Mydia Saganaki
Mussels in Feta Tomato Sauce

Mussels, olive oil, crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion, feta cheese, parsley, ouzo (optional), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'no bread' or 'no pita'. Ask if the tomato sauce has added sugar; if so, ask for minimal sauce or confirm it's not sweet. Request extra olive oil.
