If the mussels are frozen, thaw them and rinse under cold water. Fry the mussels in olive oil together with finely chopped garlic for 3-4 minutes.

Add pomegranate juice, soy sauce and honey to the mussels. Mix well and leave on low heat for 5 minutes so that the sauce evaporates a little and becomes thicker.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and leave the mussels to marinate in the sauce for 15-20 minutes.
