Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced leeks
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
Oil, for sweating the vegetables
1 pound cleaned mussels
1 cup white wine
3 tablespoons butter, cubed
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
Salt and pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Lightly sweat the garlic, leeks and onion with the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the mussels to the pot and toss them with the vegetables, allowing the mussels to absorb the flavor of the garlic, leeks and onion.
  • Deglaze the pot with the wine. Add the butter, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the wine cooks off and the mussels open, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with crusty bread.
