Mussels and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Clean the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells and removing the beards. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, and diced fennel. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the crème fraîche until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the mussels to a serving dish, pouring the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
