Mussels with Red Wine and Roasted Garlic image

Mussels take on a lusty new accent when steamed in fruity red wine infused with roasted garlic and thyme. A green salad and hunks of crusty bread complete this postcard from summer.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 tablespoons butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups fruity red wine, such as Gamay or Barbera
Coarse salt
4 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed thoroughly
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On parchment-lined foil, drizzle garlic with oil; tightly seal. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Once cool, remove cloves from papery skin and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat; add thyme and roasted garlic cloves. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, then add wine and season with salt. Bring to a boil, add mussels, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered and undisturbed, until shells have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir mussels and, with a slotted spoon, transfer to a warm serving bowl. (Discard unopened shells.) Return broth to a boil and reduce by half. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and parsley. Ladle sauce over mussels and serve immediately.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red wine. The mussels are cooked in a flavorful broth that's perfect for dipping bread.

Not a fan. The mussels were overcooked and the sauce was too acidic. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next time.

The mussels were a bit sandy, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be sure to clean the mussels more thoroughly next time.
