Dill-Garlic Aioli

Method

Mussels Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and add thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and steam until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.

  3. 3

    Season

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Dill-Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
