Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 4 medium cooked beetroot
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Method

In a processor, blend stock and beetroot until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan.

Add more buttermilk or chicken stock if the consistency is too thick.
Add mussels and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm.
