Mussels are so simple to make
Talk about a quick and simple recipe that is loaded with flavor! Mussels are so simple to make.
For this recipe, I use 2 lbs of mussels which will serve 2 people.
Ingredients:
· 2 lbs. cleaned mussels
· 2 tablespoons of butter
· 1/2 cup of dry white wine
· flat leaf parsley
· 2 medium size shallots
· Crusty French bread
In a pot big enough to hold the mussels, sauté 2 medium shallots chopped in 2 tablespoons of melted butter until translucent, just a couple minutes.
Then add 1/2 cup of dry white wine and bring to a boil on medium heat. Once boiling toss in all the mussels and cover.
While covered, shake the pot a few times while the mussels steam. This will take just a couple minutes.
After 3 to 4 min remove lid and toss in a palm full of chopped flat leaf parsley and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Using a large serving spoon fold the parsley and butter into the mussels. Check to see that the mussels are opened.
Serve in a large platter with some crusty french bread. Remove any mussel that has not opened. The bread is very important because you will use it to soak up the sauce. Trust me you will go nuts over the sauce so have some extra bread handy.
Enjoy,
Daniel
