- 20 g courgettes
- 20 g red and green peppers, peeled

Mussels

Advice :
Try making 'vegetable crisps' for a fun starter or snack with your mussels : Thinly slice some beetroot, courgette, celery, carrots or any other vegetables you fancy, then arrange on an oven tray.
Cook at a very low heat for 30 minutes, by which time the vegetables will have lost their liquid and become crisp and crunchy, without any oil !
