1
Prepare the Mussels
Clean the mussels under cold running water, removing any beards or debris. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Vegetables
In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
3
Add Wine and Mussels
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, thyme, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
4
Finish with Parsley
Once the mussels are cooked, remove them from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Prepare Frites
While the mussels are steaming, prepare the fries according to your preferred method (frying or baking).
6
Serve
Serve the steamed mussels in a bowl with the frites on the side. Optionally, prepare garlic aioli for dipping.
