Mussels with Mustard Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1kg mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the mussels and stir until they are coated with the onion and garlic mixture.
3. Add the white wine, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot and allow the mussels to cook for 5-7 minutes until they open up.
4. Remove the mussels from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Discard any unopened mussels.
5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cream to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Pour the sauce over the mussels, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Verdict:

This indulgent dish is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. The dijon mustard adds a tangy kick to the creamy sauce, while the mussels provide a briny freshness.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair with some crusty garlic bread or serve over a bed of linguine for a more filling meal.
