Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ onion, diced
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot
⅔ cup fish stock
⅔ cup dry white wine
4 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
⅔ cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the onion, bay leaf, garlic, carrot, fish stock, and wine. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the carrot and onion.
  • Add the mussels to the boiling mixture, cover, and cook over high heat until the mussels open, about 5 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to help them cook evenly.
  • As soon as the mussels have opened, remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside. Remove the bay leaf from the broth, and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through, but do not boil. Taste, and season with salt and pepper. Salt may not be necessary depending on the saltiness of your fish stock.
  • Place mussels into serving dishes, and spoon broth over them to serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, and the mussels didn't turn out very well. I'll try a different recipe next time.

I didn't have any white wine, so I used chicken broth instead. It turned out great! The mussels were tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll try making it again with less chili flakes next time.
