Simple Moules Marinières
Steamed Mussels in the French style. Completely and utterly delicious, this is simple and easy to create in your kitchen. Excellent as a casual meal, and elegant enough to serve guests.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs mussels frozen and fully cooked
- 1 shallot finely minced
- 5 cloves garlic finely minced
- 4 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- Italian parsley handful roughly chopped for garnish
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large stockpot set on medium setting on your stove.
- Add minced garlic and shallot to the butter, and stir 1 minute.
- Add wine and bring to the boil.
- Now add the frozen mussels straight from the bags along with your cream. Stir well and bring back to the boil. Lower the heat to a simmer (around medium or a little higher) and cover. Cook until the mussels open, approximately 8-10 minutes. You are basically steaming the mussels so you want to see some steam. :-)
- Season with salt and pepper, and garnish generously with Italian parsley!
Notes
Serve with crusty French bread to mop up all the juices! Bon appetit!!
