Mussels Magnier Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, removing any beards or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon lardons and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

3. 3

   Sauté Garlic

   Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add Mussels and Cider

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, followed by the Magners cider. Cover the pot and steam the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, or until they open.

5. 5

   Stir in Cream

   Once the mussels have opened, stir in the heavy cream and cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley, and serve the mussels in bowls with a side of pickled shallots and fries.
