What it is
Fresh mussels steamed in a fragrant broth of dry white wine, garlic, and butter, typically served with bread for dipping, but modified for keto by omitting the bread.

How to make it keto
Crucially, omit any accompanying bread. Confirm no flour-based thickeners in the sauce. Request extra butter if available.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in sauce, often served with crusty bread for dipping, sweet wine (unlikely for savory mussels, but possible in some preparations).
