Beer muscles with sweet potato and white wine

I stole this recipe from Cassandra Forsythe, M.S - it’s both healthy and tasty so I’d thought I share it

Shopping List

1. 1 lb raw mussels in shells
2. 1 12 oz can of beer (preferably something of quality and aim for a lager)
3. Garlic Powder or Garlic cloves - I prefer cloves
4. 1 medium size sweet potato

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Place mussels on a large baking sheet. Pour beer over mussels and smother with garlic (powder or cloves). Cook for 20 minutes then remove from the oven and let it cool down
• Wash the sweet potato and cook it in either the microwave or the oven (pre-heat oven to 375)
• Serve half the cooked potato with the mussels, goes well with a 4 oz glass of white wine - I prefer a nice Pinot Grigio
