Mussels in White Wine (Moules Marinière)

Ingredients

• 1 kg fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
• 3 tbsp butter, divided
• 2 shallots, finely minced; 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 250 mL dry white wine
• A handful of parsley, chopped
• Pepper; crusty bread to serve
• Optional: a splash of cream

Instructions

1. Scrub the mussels and pull off the beards. Discard any that are cracked or stay open when tapped.
2. In a large pot, soften the shallots and garlic in half the butter over medium heat without browning.
3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a strong simmer.
4. Add the mussels, cover, and steam over high heat, shaking the pot once, just until the shells open — about 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Discard any mussels that stayed shut. Stir in the remaining butter, the parsley, and a splash of cream if using.
6. Serve straight from the pot in bowls with plenty of the broth and crusty bread.
