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.

Steps:
- For the mussels: In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Break up the chorizo while cooking to create fine crumbles. Season with a nice pinch of salt and ground pepper and cook, stirring, until the bits and pieces are crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the cream. Immediately add the mussels and cover the pot with a lid. Jiggle the pot a bit to coat with the liquid on the bottom. Steam until most of the mussels are opened, about 5 minutes. Discard ones that do not open in the steaming process.
- For the fries: Fry the shoestring French fries according to the package instructions.
- Add the oil, garlic and a few grinds of pepper to a large bowl. Mix and mash to combine. Add the hot fries to the bowl and toss while sprinkling with the parsley. Serve with mayonnaise for dipping.
- Sprinkle the mussels with the cilantro and serve with the fries.
STEAMED MUSSELS WITH WHITE WINE AND PARSLEY
Steps:
- Wash and sort the mussels, pulling off any pieces of protruding beard. Combine the wine, shallots, bay leaf, and thyme in a 10-quart pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the mussels, cover the pot, and turn the heat up to high. When steam starts to shoot out from under the lid, turn the heat back down to medium. Leave the pot on the heat for 5 minutes more. Leave the lid on the pot and holding down the lid with a kitchen towel. Shake pot to redistribute the mussels. Put the pot back on the heat for 2 minutes more. Take off the lid and check to see if all the mussels have opened. If not, replace the lid and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove the lid, wait a minute for the steam to dissipate, scoop the mussels out of the pot with a large spoon or skimmer, and place them in hot bowls, discarding any unopened mussels. If the liquid in the bottom of the pan is sandy, carefully pour it into a clean saucepan, leaving any sand or grit behind. Add the chopped parsley to the hot broth, whisk in the butter if desired, and season with pepper. Heat the broth for a 1or 2 and ladle it over the hot mussels. Serve slices of crusty bread at the table.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Spread mussels in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Blend all remaining ingredients to a paste in a food processor. Spoon mixture over mussels. Cover tightly with foil and bake in middle of oven until all mussels are open, 12 to 15 minutes. (Discard any unopened mussels.)
Tips:
- Fresh mussels are key: Use mussels that are still alive and have tightly closed shells. Discard any mussels with open shells or broken shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels and remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
- Steam the mussels in a flavorful liquid: Use a combination of white wine, chicken broth, and herbs to create a flavorful steaming liquid. You can also add other aromatics, such as garlic, shallots, or leeks.
- Steam the mussels just until they open: Overcooking the mussels will make them tough and chewy. Steam them for just 3-4 minutes, or until the shells have opened.
- Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are steamed. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as melted butter or aioli.
Conclusion:
Steamed mussels are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked mussels that are bursting with flavor. Serve them as an appetizer or main course, and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
