16 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

• Choose fresh and quality mussels. Make sure they are tightly closed before cooking them.
  
• Before cooking the mussels, soak them in lightly salted cold water for about 30 minutes to help them get rid of the sand.
  
• Add aromatic vegetables such as onions, shallots, garlic, and celery to give more flavor to the sauce.
  
• Use salted butter to sauté the vegetables. This will add an extra touch of saltiness to the sauce.
  
• Don't forget to add quality white wine to give a delicate flavor to the sauce. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking, as it will be reflected in the final taste of the recipe.
  
• If you want a creamier sauce, add fresh cream at the end of cooking.
  
• For a lighter version, replace the fresh cream with coconut milk or soy cream.
