Mussels Acadian Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

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

2. 2

   Sauté Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. 3

   Add White Wine

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

4. 4

   Cook Mussels

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

5. 5

   Add Cream and Herbs

   Once the mussels are open, stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until combined and heated through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve immediately in bowls, spooning the creamy broth over the mussels.
