Mussels

Bourbon-Maple Syrup Cream Sauce

Method

Preparation of Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold running water. Use a brush to scrub the shells and remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the garlic and shallots and set aside.

Cooking Mussels

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and shallots, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Mussels and Wine

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Pour in the white wine, cover the pot, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cream Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream, bourbon, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, then reduce the heat and allow it to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 6

    Combine Sauce with Mussels

    Once the mussels are cooked, pour the bourbon-maple syrup cream sauce over the mussels in the pot. Gently stir to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the mussels to a serving dish, drizzle any remaining sauce over them, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
