Mussels Dijonnaise image

This is an easy and delicious variation on the classic Moules Marinière. You can leave out the mustard if you wish, and/or the cream.... But then you won't be making my recipe! Be sure to have lots of crusty bread to sop up the luscious sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
3 quarts mussels, beards removed, cleaned and scrubbed
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan until melted. Add the onions, shallots and garlic and cook briefly, until wilted. Do not brown.
  • Add the mussels, salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, white wine and cream. Cover closely and bring to a boil.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, shaking to redistribute the mussels. Cook until all the mussels are opened.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a serving bowl. Keep warm. Continue cooking the sauce for a minute, remove bay leaf and the thyme.
  • Stir in the mustard with a wire whisk while heating. Do not boil.
  • Spoon equal portions of the sauce over the mussels and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
