This blend of chipotle mussels is absolutely delish!! It's a fresh blend of cilantro, chipotle peppers, and fire roasted tomatoe that you can use some tasty garlic bread to soak up the juices after you have demolished the mussels!! A great party favorite or something to eat with a friend as an entree on a cozy night in!! —Laurenzim

1) I could never get the print function to work for the recipe, just never loaded. 2) Tasted so winey.... I'd reduce the initial amount to 2 cups or maybe even 1.5 cups, steam the mussels and then reduce.
3) Not necessary to puree the chipotle and garlic, why dirty a kitchen tool you don't need to?
4) tasty! We liked it much.
