Moules Frites Ingredients

Method

Moules Frites Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    If using homemade fries, cut potatoes into thin strips, soak in water for 30 minutes, then fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. If using frozen fries, cook according to package instructions.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mussels

    In a large pot, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

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

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the crème fraîche and fresh herbs. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the mussels and sauce among bowls and serve with a side of fries.
