Garlic Toast

Method

Prepare the Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Remove any beards.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  3. 3

    Make the Broth

    Add white wine, vegetable broth, tarragon, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

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

  5. 5

    Check Mussels

    Discard any mussels that do not open after cooking.

Make Garlic Toast

  1. 6

    Toast the Baguette

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and toast until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Spread the mixture onto the toasted baguette.

  3. 8

    Melt the Butter

    Return the garlic toast to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the butter is melted and bubbly.
