Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely sliced shallots
5 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
1 cup white wine
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and beards removed
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/3 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
French fries, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or straight-sided 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mussels, cover and steam until open, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large serving bowl.
  • Add the creme fraiche, parsley, butter, chives and mustard to the remaining cooking liquid and bring just to a boil while stirring to combine. Pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve with French fries.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and cayenne pepper to give it a little more kick.

I've tried this recipe with both fresh and frozen mussels and they both turned out great. I prefer using fresh mussels when I can find them.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. It's a bit more work than your average weeknight meal, but it's worth it for the delicious results.

I'm not a fan of the way this recipe uses white wine. I prefer to use a dry cider instead.

I love this recipe! The mussels are always so tender and the sauce is divine. I serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the frites were amazing. I'll try this recipe again with a shorter cooking time for the mussels.

I'm not a big fan of mussels, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a classic for a reason! The mussels were plump and juicy, and the frites were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served it with a glass of white wine and it was the perfect meal.
