Moules Frites Recipe

Cooking Steps

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 Aromatics

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Wine and Cream

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and squeeze in the juice of the lemon.

4. 4

   Cook the Mussels

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the mussels in bowls with the broth and garnish with lemon wedges. Pair with pommes frites on the side.
