Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Roughly chop the parsley and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover it with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 6

    Finish with Cream and Herbs

    Once the mussels have opened, stir in the heavy cream, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the mussels and broth into bowls and garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
