Burning mussels with garlic and ouzo

This cooking recipe is for those who love mussels. It is well suited for some kind of party, where there are not quite a lot of people. It will look very impressive if you cook right in front of the guests.
At the very beginning, you need to prepare the mussels for use. For this, both fresh and frozen products are suitable for you. But they need to be thoroughly rinsed so that sand does not get caught, otherwise it can spoil the whole appetite.We take a large and deep frying pan, such that the bottom of it was not thin. Heat olive oil over high heat, throw garlic there, very finely chopped or crushed in a mortar. Lay the mussels, both peeled and in the shells. We use the latter only for beauty. Fry, while adding salt, pepper, cumin, parsley and water.If you see that the water has completely boiled off, only then pour in the aniseed vodka. Just be careful, because it will immediately light up.
