The ingredients for this month are Mushroom, Orange and Wine (or non-alcoholic sparkling wine). When I read about the ingredients, I had no idea and honestly quite confused about how to combine these to make an interesting dish. If I had to make dishes with these ingredients separately, there wouldn\u2019t be any scarcity for the recipes. I would have come up with many recipes. As usual, I stood still with my refrigerator open and looked inside with my eyes wide open and of course thinking about how to throw these into the same pot. When I saw the Mussels getting ready to come out of the freezer, I first grabbed that and the other ingredients. After that I don\u2019t know what happened in my kitchen and here is what was ready on the platter for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of Mussels, Mushrooms, orange and sparkling wine did work and this was the dish, which got finished first for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mussel Mushroom in Sparkling Red Grape
