Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 pounds mussels, scrubbed
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, (I like Sauvignon Blanc)
4 tablespoons butter,
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or large pot with a lid, heat the olive oil and add the shallot and chopped garlic, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the garlic is softened and barely golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil then add the mussels and wine, cook for 1 minute, giving it a stir occasionally. Cover with the lid and steam the mussels until they open, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to 6 serving bowls, discarding any mussels that do not open.
  • Return the pot to the heat and bring to a boil to reduce the pot broth slightly. Add the butter and parsley to the broth, and stir until the butter melts. Slowly pour the broth over each serving of the mussels. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and serve with crusty grilled bread.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds cultivated mussels
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (5 to 7 shallots)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (5 to 6 cloves)
1/2 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, drained (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon good saffron threads
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup good white wine
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
  • In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY



Steamed Mussels With Garlic and Parsley image

This is absolutely the simplest way to cook mussels, and perhaps the most satisfying. A big pot of them makes an easy, festive dinner any night of the week.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toasts
2 garlic cloves, minced, plus 1 or 2 whole garlic cloves for rubbing toasts
Pinch of crushed red pepper
4 pounds mussels, cleaned
1/4 cup white wine or water
1 baguette, split lengthwise, then cut crosswise in half
1 cup roughly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Put olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and let sizzle for 30 seconds without browning. Add the mussels, stir to coat and increase heat to high. Add the wine or water, and put on lid. After 2 minutes, give the mussels a stir, then replace lid and continue cooking until all mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Paint cut sides of the baguette pieces with oil and place cut side up under broiler to toast. Rub toasts with the remaining garlic cloves.
  • Stir the chopped parsley into the mussels, then ladle mussels and broth into bowls. Serve with the garlic toasts.

Tips:

  • Fresh mussels are the key: Make sure your mussels are fresh and alive before cooking. Discard any mussels that are open or have cracked shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the mussels from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Cook the mussels in a single layer so that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pot, the mussels will steam instead of sauté.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use will add flavor to the mussels, so choose a wine that you enjoy drinking. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, is a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as an appetizer or main course.

Conclusion:

Mussels are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or an elegant dish for a special occasion, mussels are a great choice. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your friends and family will love.
