Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt or barnacles. Remove beards if necessary.

2

Sauté aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

3

Add wine

Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly.

4

Cook the mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until all mussels have opened.

5

Make the sauce

Remove the mussels with a slotted spoon, leaving the liquid behind. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Combine

Return the mussels to the pot, tossing them in the sauce until well coated. Stir in chopped fresh parsley.

7

Serve

Serve the mussels in bowls with toasted bread on the side for dipping into the sauce.
