    Yum... Looks delicious. I will have to try it out soon. I might use a light coconut milk with a splash of dry white wine, instead of prosecco though. Thanks for the idea!

    When I got to the fish store, there were no mussels, so I substituted little necks (Venus mercenaria, a hard-shell clam of the Atlantic coast). Most excellent!

I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
