Hebridean Mussels With Garlic and White Wine Sauce

I was shooting for Wild Island Gin last week and did a gorgeous set up al fresco for the shots using this tasty mussel dish. It was so lovely I just had to use the recipe for this week!
 
The shoot for Wild Island Botanic Gin was to celebrate their recent Gold Award at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. Wild Island Gin comes from the Isle of Colonsay, one of the Hebridean Islands, and this tasty mussel dish captures the coastal wilderness and atmosphere of this spectacular island and it's gin - truely delicious! 
 
Enjoy! Gill X
