Ingredients

4 lb. mussels, cleaned, scrubbed with beards removed
1 cup fish stock or chicken stock
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup flour
1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Steps:

Place mussels and fish stock in large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven; cover. Cook on high heat 7 min. or until mussel shells open. Discard any unopened shells. Strain mussels, reserving the liquid in small bowl. Place mussels in separate bowl. Cover mussels and reserved liquid to keep warm; set aside.
Melt butter in same saucepan on medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 min., stirring constantly. Add flour; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Gradually add reserved mussel liquid, stirring until well blended after each addition. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Add sour cream and lemon juice; mix well. Add mussels; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. (Do not boil.) Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
