This is an easy and delicious variation on the classic Moules Marinière. You can leave out the mustard if you wish, and/or the cream.... But then you won't be making my recipe! Be sure to have lots of crusty bread to sop up the luscious sauce.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Mussels: Fresh mussels are essential for this recipe. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the Mussels: Before cooking, you need to clean the mussels to remove any dirt or debris. Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold water. Remove the beards by pulling them off with your fingers.
  • Cook the Mussels Properly: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook the mussels for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just opaque. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Flavorful: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a good quality white wine and Dijon mustard. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the Mussels Immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. Garnish the mussels with chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread for dipping.
