Medium
  • Put the bread to toast
  • In a large skillet, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bacon and cook for a few minutes until crispy.
  • Remove the bacon from the skillet, reserving the fat it released. Check all the mussels; they should be closed. If they are not, give them a little tap, if they do not close then they are not good to eat.
  • Add the mussels to the hot skillet with the garlic and cider and another splash of olive oil.
  • Cover with the lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the mussels have opened and are tender and juicy.
  • When the mussels have opened, transfer them to a platter, leaving all the juices in the pan. If any mussel did not open, discard it. Place your toasted bread on the edge of the platter.
  • Stir the yogurt in the skillet and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add all the herbs and a bit of bacon, add salt and pepper. Stir a little.
  • Pour the sauce over the mussels and add the rest of the herbs and bacon. Enjoy!
