1 kg fresh mussels (1 bag would do for 2 hungry people)

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large fennel bulb
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for brushing
1 large leek, white part only, cleaned and finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
Pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons Pernod
2 pounds fresh mussels, rinsed
2/3 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 pound fresh English peas, shelled 1/2 cup
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Fine sea salt
2 slices country-style bread, 1/2-inch-thick

Steps:

  • Chop and reserve 1/4 cup fennel fronds. Peel and discard the outer layers from the bulb, then finely chop the bulb and coarsely chop the stems.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped fennel bulb, leek and garlic cloves. Cook until the fennel and leek are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the fennel stems, wine and Pernod. Cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 2 minutes.
  • Add the mussels to the pot. Cover tightly and cook until most of the mussels have opened, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any remaining closed mussels). Transfer to a large bowl and cover loosely with foil.
  • Heat the broiler. Strain the liquid in the pot through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, pressing down on the solids with a spoon. Add the stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the peas and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the crème fraîche, lemon zest, salt and chopped fennel fronds. Cover to keep warm.
  • Drizzle the bread with oil and place it under the broiler until just golden, about 1 minute. Place a slice of bread into each of two bowls. Mound the mussels on top of the bread, then ladle the broth over everything.

MUSSELS WITH CHORIZO AND FENNEL



Mussels with Chorizo and Fennel image

Provided by Michele Ragussis, Food Network Star Season 8 Finalist

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons Portuguese olive oil, or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sliced Portuguese or Spanish chorizo
2 celery stalks, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 fennel bulb, sliced thinly
1/2 onion, sliced thinly
25 mussels, cleaned well
1/2 cup clam juice
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and chorizo and saute for about 2 minutes. Then the celery, garlic, tomatoes, fennel and onions, and saute until tender but not too soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the mussels, and saute again until the mussels start to pop open. Add the clam juice and wine and cover the skillet. Steam the mussels until they open, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove any mussels that didn't open, and transfer the rest from the skillet to a serving bowl(s), leaving the liquid behind. Add the butter and simmer until the liquid reduces a bit, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the liquid over the mussels and serve with a delightful crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use the freshest mussels you can find. They should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to clean the mussels and remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the mussels well under cold water.
  • Use a large pot: Mussels will release a lot of liquid as they cook, so be sure to use a large pot that can accommodate them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the mussels won't cook evenly. Cook the mussels in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the mussels over high heat: This will help them to open quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the mussels: Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery. Cook the mussels just until they are open, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as crusty bread, pasta, or rice.

Conclusion:

Mussels are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. This recipe for mussels with cream, fennel, and white wine is a classic that is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion.
