Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds fresh blue mussels, debearded and rinsed
1 1/2 ounces whole almonds, skin on
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
6 tablespoons dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil leaves
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread almonds in an even layer on a baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to oven and roast until fragrant, about 5 minutes; let cool. Coarsely chop almonds by hand or pulse in a food processor.
  • Place a 5 1/4 quart nonreactive cast-iron roasting pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted. Add shallots and garlic, cooking until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice, bring to a boil, and immediately remove from heat. Toss in herbs and almonds; season with salt and pepper.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Arrange mussels in the roasting pan in no more than two even layers. Cut remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter into pieces and place over mussels. Transfer to oven and roast, tossing mussels to coat, every 3 to 4 minutes, until mussels have opened and sauce is creamy. Serve immediately with bread for dipping.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I always have a few mussels left over after I make a seafood stew or chowder, and this is the perfect way to use them up.
