Mussels Preparation

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 Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

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

  4. 4

    Add Cream

    Once the mussels are opened, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the mussels with crusty bread or over pasta.
