ALE-STEAMED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND MUSTARD
Looking for a sustainable, affordable seafood option back in a 2009 column, Melissa Clark landed on mussels. Here, she pairs them with a good ale, Dijon mustard, garlic, shallots and thyme for a quick weeknight dinner that's ready in 15 minutes. Just don't forget the baguette. You'll want it for soaking up all those juices.

Steps:
- Rinse mussels under cold running water. If you see hairy clumps around the shell (called beards), use a sharp knife or your fingers to pull them off, then scrub shells well with a vegetable brush.
- In a soup pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat olive oil, then add thyme, garlic, shallots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until shallots and garlic are softened, 3 minutes. Pour in ale and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and cover pot. Let mussels steam, stirring once or twice, until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mussels to bowls. Discard any that have not opened.
- Add butter, herbs and mustard to pan juices and bring to a boil. Whisk until butter melts, then taste and correct seasonings (add more butter if liquid tastes bitter). Pour over mussels and serve with bread for sopping up juices.
