Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, green tops removed, thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 1/2 pounds black mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
3/4 cup white wine
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Crusty bread

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add in the leeks and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 7 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and continue cooking, while stirring, for 1 minute more.
  • Drop in the mussels and stir the ingredients together gently until combined. Add the wine and thyme sprigs, cover the pan and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cream, cover and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the mussels open.
  • Serve with lots of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of mussels, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The sauce was flavorful and the mussels were cooked well.

Overall, this was a good recipe but it could use a few tweaks. I'll definitely be trying it again with some adjustments.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I'll try adding some cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

I found that the mussels were a bit overcooked. I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

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

This is one of my favorite mussel recipes. It's so simple to make but always turns out delicious. I like to use a variety of mussels, such as blue mussels, green mussels, and black mussels. It adds a nice variety of flavors and textures to the dish.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit with my guests. The combination of white wine, leeks, and mussels is just perfect. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and chili flakes to give it a little kick.
