Method:

Prepare a braai fire with enough coals to cook the mussels.

1. Put the mussels, garlic, leeks, spring onions and
sparkling wine in a pot and season with salt and pepper. Put on the braai –
directly on the coals – and cook until the mussels are all open. Discard any
that don’t open.

2. Cook the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes then transfer
to ice-cold water.

3. When the mussels are ready, add the peas to the mussel pot
and stir.

4. Garnish with coriander shoots and serve with toasted
bruschetta.
