My grandma's recipe

If you want to impress your family with your culinary skills, here's a simple recipe you can try.

Steaming mussels 'buzara' style in a pot, a classic Adriatic seafood dish, prepared with garlic, wine, and herbs.

The secret to making this dish delicious is to use locally sourced, fresh ingredients available in Jezera town.

“Na buzaru” is a sauce made with fish or shellfish, and in this recipe, we will use mussels.

1. Rinse the mussels and make sure none of them are damaged or wide open. It's crucial to use fresh mussels

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, and add the garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs. Stir briefly, making sure not to burn the mixture.

3. Once the mixture turns golden brown, add the mussels and white wine. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes on low heat. Be cautious while adding salt to the mussels as they already have a salty sea flavour. Stir the mussels occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
