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.

MUSSELS IN A CREAMY WHITE WINE GARLIC SAUCE



Mussels in a Creamy White Wine Garlic Sauce image

Some people find the texture of mussels off-putting, but after they've been steaming away in a creamy, buttery sauce they soon start to get super delicious. The best part of a mussel dish always seems to be the same: that last bit of creamy sauce in the bottom of the bowl that gets soaked up with some warm crusty bread. The salty sea-ness from the mussels combined with your sauce always creates the perfect combination.

Categories     Mains

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons (1 1/2 oz) butter
1 (8 oz) white onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 vegetable bouillon cube
Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 to 2 tablespoons)
4 pounds mussels (scrubbed and debearded)
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 generous cup heavy cream
Small handful of fresh curly parsley (chopped)
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Crusty bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine butter, onion, and garlic. Sauté until everything is soft, 6 to 10 minutes. Crumble in the vegetable bouillon cube and add the lemon juice.
  • Increase heat, toss in mussels and wine, and put the lid on the pot. The wine will make steam and start to cook the mussels. Cook until most of the mussels are open, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce temperature to low and add heavy cream, parsley, and black pepper. Slowly bring up the temperature until the sauce starts to bubble-be careful when adding the cream because if it's too hot it can split.
  • Gently simmer until all of the mussels are open, about 2 minutes more. Discard any that refuse to open.
  • Serve with a wedge of lemon and lots of crusty bread.

Yield 6 Appetizer Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dry white wine
2 1/4-inch-thick lemon slices
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/2 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper and salt; sauté until onion is light brown, about 4 minutes. Add wine, lemon slices and 1/4 cup parsley; bring to boil. Add mussels. Cover pot and cook until mussel shells open, stirring once to rearrange mussels, about 6 minutes; discard any mussels that do not open. Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large shallow bowl. Boil broth in pot until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 minutes; season to taste with pepper. Pour broth over mussels. Sprinkle tomatoes and remaining parsley over.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest mussels possible. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly. Use a stiff brush to scrub away any dirt or debris from the shells. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a large pot for cooking the mussels. This will allow the mussels to steam evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you are cooking a large batch of mussels, cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
  • Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels cook quickly, so it is important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from becoming tough.

Conclusion:

Spicy Mussels with White Wine and Garlic Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The combination of spicy, garlicky sauce and tender mussels is sure to please everyone.
