Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh mussels
- 6 tablespoons butter (sub ghee)
- 1/4 cup shallots, minced (sub red onion)
- 3–4 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup dry white wine (I used a chardonnay)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- (optional ) 1/4 cup unflavored Nutpods OR heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- (optional) 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- for serving: grilled bread
Instructions
- Soak mussels in cold water 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- In a deep sauté pan, add butter and let melt. Add shallots, garlic, and olive oil.
- Let shallots sweat and soften – about 3 minutes while continuously stirring.
- Add white wine, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let simmer about 5 minutes.
- Add parsley, creamer, and paprika (if using). Taste and adjust any salt, as desired.
- Stir and let gently simmer another 2 minutes.
- Add mussels and cover immediately – let simmer for 2 minutes or until mussels open.
- Spoon mussels into shallow bowl, pour sauce over the top and serve with grilled bread and lemon wedge.
Notes
- Mussels: I highly recommend using fresh mussels, purchased the same day as cooking.
- Pan: make sure you are using a pan that has a cover that fits tightly.
