Mydia

(μύδιαm, Midia, Dagnje na crvenu buzaru, Dagnje na crveno)

Mydia or dagnje na crvenu buzaru is a popular Greek and Croatian appetizer consisting of fresh mussels that are steamed in red wine along with fresh herbs, garlic, and a variety of garden vegetables. The dish is usually doused in a Mediterranean red sauce.


It is served in most fish taverns (called psarotaverna) in Greece and in most coastal restaurants in Croatia, accompanied by lots of bread used for mopping up the flavorful sauce. In Croatia, the dish is also known as dagnje na crveno.
