Mussels and Broth

Grilled Bread

Method

Preparing the Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Broth

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the white wine, seafood fumé, and tomato sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish the Broth

    Stir in the sliced olives, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Grilling the Bread

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or French bread into thick slices. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.

  2. 7

    Grill the Bread

    Place the bread slices on a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and toasted.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the mussels in a bowl with the broth and accompany with grilled bread on the side for dipping.
