Mussels and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove the beards if present.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Thyme

    Pour in the white wine and add the fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  5. 5

    Add Dijon Mustard

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
