Mussels in White Wine & Garlic - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Galateadia (Pro Member)
Be sure to buy live mussels. Any open mussels that do not close when you press their shells a few times are dead, and you should discard them.
Ingredients
2 cups dry white wine
4 large shallots, finely chopped
4 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 pounds live mussels
1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, chervil, or basil, chopped
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
1. Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water. Using your fingers or a paring knife, remove beards (strings that hang from the mussels’ shells), and discard.
2. In a large stockpot set over medium heat, combine wine, shallots, garlic, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add mussels.
3. Cover, and increase heat to high. Cook until all mussels are open, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs and butter. Remove from heat. Divide mussels and broth among four bowls. Serve immediately.
