Be sure to buy live mussels. Any open mussels that do not close when you press their shells a few times are dead, and you should discard them.

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.

MUSSELS, WHITE WINE & PARSLEY



Mussels, white wine & parsley image

British mussels are cheap, sustainable and surprisingly simple to cook. Follow Mary Cadogan's step-by-step guide to preparing mussels

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg mussels, in shells
small glass white wine
1 shallot, finely chopped
chopped parsley, to serve

Steps:

  • Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
  • Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
  • If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
  • Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
  • Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
  • Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels. Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Scrub the mussels thoroughly. Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold water. This will remove any dirt or grit from the shells.
  • Debeard the mussels. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to remove the beard from each mussel. The beard is a small, stringy piece of material that protrudes from the mussel's shell.
  • Use a variety of wines. You can use any type of white wine for this recipe, but a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best. You can also use a red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Merlot, for a more robust flavor.
  • Add other vegetables to the pot. Along with the mussels and wine, you can add other vegetables to the pot, such as onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, or fennel. This will add more flavor and complexity to the dish.
  • Serve with crusty bread. Mussels in wine and garlic is a delicious appetizer or main course. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping in the flavorful sauce.

Conclusion:

Mussels in wine and garlic is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and elegant meal that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give mussels in wine and garlic a try. You won't be disappointed!
