Simmer Ina Garten's recipe for Mussels in White Wine on the stovetop with garlic, saffron and plum tomatoes for an easy yet elegant meal.

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.

You can't go wrong with mussels cooked in white wine. Make your own garlic butter flavoured with herbs and smoked paprika for the toasts, too - it's so easy

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Supper

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slices sourdough bread
1 tbsp olive oil
knob of butter
small bunch of parsley , stalks finely chopped (keep the leaves for the butter, and to serve)
1 bay leaf
1 shallot , finely chopped
1kg mussels , cleaned and beards removed
1 glass white wine (I used chardonnay)
40g unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp chopped parsley leaves , plus extra to serve
½ tbsp tarragon leaves
½ tsp smoked paprika
large pinch sea salt
10g parmesan , grated

Steps:

  • First, make the garlic butter. Blitz all the ingredients in a food processor, then set aside. The butter can be made ahead and chilled in the fridge for up to five days. Toast one side of each sourdough slice under the grill. Spread the other side thickly with the butter and place under the grill again until the butter is bubbling. Turn off the grill and keep the toasts warm.
  • Heat the oil and butter over a medium heat in a large pan with a lid. Add the parsley stalks, bay leaf, shallot and ½ tsp pepper, and sweat for a few mins until the shallots are softening and fragrant. Add the mussels and white wine, stir, cover tightly with a lid and steam for 2-3 mins until all the mussels have opened.
  • Spoon into bowls, pour over the pan juices, scatter over some chopped parsley and serve with the toasts.

Tips:

  • Be sure to clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them under cold water and remove any barnacles or other debris.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the mussels. This will allow the mussels to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the pot to help steam the mussels. This will also add a delicious flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the mussels until they are just cooked through. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the mussels immediately with your favorite sides, such as crusty bread, pasta, or rice.
