MUSSELS STEAMED IN ALE WITH GARLIC AND MUSTARD image

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds mussels in shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 full sprigs of thyme
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large shallots, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good ale
1 to 3 tablespoons butter, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse mussels under cold running water. If you see hairy clumps around the shell (called beards), use a sharp knife or your fingers to pull them off, then scrub shells well with a vegetable brush. 2. In a soup pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat olive oil, then add thyme, garlic, shallots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until shallots and garlic are softened, 3 minutes. Pour in ale and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and cover pot. Let mussels steam, stirring once or twice, until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mussels to bowls. Discard any that have not opened. 3. Add butter, herbs and mustard to pan juices and bring to a boil. Whisk until butter melts, then taste and correct seasonings (add more butter if liquid tastes bitter). Pour over mussels and serve with bread for sopping up juices.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The mussels are always tender and juicy, and the broth is so flavorful. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all that deliciousness.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used a blonde ale and it gave the mussels a nice, hoppy flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
