Description
Mussels are one of my favorite dishes! Cooking them on a grill adds a extra nuance of flavor, but you can follow this same recipe on the stovetop. Serve a big bowl as an appetizer, or as an intimate main course. Don’t forget the grilled bread to dip in the flavorful broth!
Ingredients
2 lbs mussels, cleaned and washed
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup diced shallots
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 TBS chopped basil
Toast, for serving
Instructions
Preheat a large frying skillet. Add butter, garlic, and shallots or onions and sautee 4-5 minutes, or until fragrant and golden. Add wine and stock and allow to heat. Add mussels, parsley, and basil. Cook, while stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes, or until all mussels are opened. Discard any unopened ones. Pour mussels and broth into a large serving bowl. Serve with grilled toast for dipping in the wonderful broth.
