Sixty-second microwave mussels

The microwave is easily ignored as it is considered more of a household appliance, but it can still be used for some very special dishes. If the "magic box" (as many chefs call it) were to be introduced today by a renowned chef, everyone would rush out to buy one instantly. If you seal the mussels and remaining ingredients in a vacuum sealer bag and microwave this briefly, all the flavours and aromas will be retained to the highest degree possible and the mussels will be perfectly tasty and tender! The flip side is that if they are not eaten within two minutes they will become inedible. This is, however, an ideal preparation procedure for small portions that are part of a composition.
