Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds mussels in shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 full sprigs of thyme
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large shallots, chopped
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good ale
1 to 3 tablespoons butter, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Crusty bread, for serving

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.

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:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells. Avoid any mussels with open shells or broken shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under running water. Remove any barnacles or other debris from the shells.
  • Steam the mussels in a flavorful liquid: You can use ale, white wine, or even water as the steaming liquid. Add aromatics like garlic, shallots, and herbs for extra flavor.
  • Cook the mussels until they are just cooked through: Overcooking will make the mussels tough. Mussels are cooked when the shells open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served hot. You can serve them with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Steamed mussels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic dish in the comfort of your own home.
