Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only)
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons Pernod or other anise liqueur
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine sliced leeks, dry white wine and red bell pepper in large pot. Add mussels. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover pot and cook until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer mussels to medium bowl (discard any mussels that do not open). Add whipping cream and Pernod to pot; boil until liquid is slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Mix in chopped parsley. Return mussels and any accumulated juices to pot. Simmer until mussels are warmed through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Serve mussels with broth.

Would have been better with white wine.

Amazing flavors! The Pernod and cream sauce was so rich and creamy. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan of Pernod. Ruined the dish for me.

This was my first time cooking mussels and it was a success! The recipe was easy to follow and the mussels turned out great. The sauce was creamy and flavorful and the mussels were tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a winner. The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is divine. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread or rice.

The mussels were a bit sandy, but the sauce was good.

Delicious! The Pernod and cream sauce really made this dish. I also added a bit of Dijon mustard for a little extra kick. Served with a side of roasted vegetables.

Not bad, but not great. The mussels were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy and tasty! I used white wine instead of Pernod and added a bit of garlic and shallots. The mussels were tender and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. Served with a side of pasta.

These mussels were absolutely divine! The Pernod and cream sauce was rich and flavorful, and the mussels were cooked to perfection. I served them with a side of crusty bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. Will definitely be making this again an
