Recipe video above. Mussels are highly underrated - they're cheap, quick and easy to cook, and delicious! This is a classic way to cook mussels - in a garlic white wine butter sauce. Be sure to have plenty of crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce, it's my favourite part!

Ingredients

50g / 3 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
1⁄2 onion (, finely chopped (brown, yellow, white))
3 garlic cloves (, very finely chopped)
1 kg / 2 lbs mussels (, bearded and scrubbed (Note 1))
1 cup (250ml) dry white wine
2 tomatoes (, deseeded and diced (Note 2))
1⁄4 cup flat leaf parsley (, roughly chopped)
Lemon wedges ((essential!))
Crusty bread to serve ((essential!))

Steps:

Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat, melt butter.
Add the garlic and onion, stirring occasionally until onion is soft and fragrant - about 3 minutes.
Turn heat up to high, add wine and bring to boil. Simmer 2 minutes until the harsh alcoholic smell is gone.
Stir in tomatoes, add mussels stir to coat in sauce a bit.
Cover, lower heat to medium high and cook, shaking pot once or twice.
The mussels are cooked when they are open - around 6 to 8 minutes.
Toss through parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Be careful with the salt as the mussels are already salty, so taste first.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and serve with lemon wedgeds on the side so people can use as much as they wish. Serve immediately with crusty bread to mop up the sauce!

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 pounds cultivated mussels
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (5 to 7 shallots)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (5 to 6 cloves)
1/2 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, drained (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon good saffron threads
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup good white wine
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.
