Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
2 pounds mussels, cleaned
1 cup Chardonnay
1 cup chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
Crusty bread, brushed with olive oil and grilled, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a cast-iron enameled Dutch oven over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic and butter and briefly cook until the onion softens, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the chili flakes. Add the mussels, Chardonnay and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until all of the mussels have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the lid then add the parsley.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush the bread slices with olive oil on both sides. Grill until toasted on both sides, 30 seconds per side.
  • Serve the mussels with a rustic piece of grilled bread.
