Moules (Mussels)

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche and miso paste. Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the crème fraîche mixture and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussels hot in a bowl with the sauce poured over them. Pair with crispy fries on the side for a complete dish.
