white wine
💰Cheaper: chicken broth
Chicken broth provides a savory base without the cost of wine.
butter
🥗Healthier: olive oil
Olive oil is a healthier fat option.
Slice two small shallots and mince two garlic cloves.
Add the mussels to a colander and rinse under cold water, removing any beards.
Hold the mussel in one hand and firmly pull the beard out with the other.
Use a firm brush to remove any barnacles or seaweed attached to the mussels.
Look through the batch and discard any mussels that are cracked or chipped.
Tap any open mussels to see if they close; if not, discard them.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot with a lid over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
Stir in the shallots and garlic, cooking until the shallots have softened and smell sweet.
Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 1 cup of chicken stock to the pot.
Slide in the mussels and toss them around in the pot.
Cover the pot with its lid and cook until all of the mussels have opened.
Chop some fresh parsley and cut a lemon into wedges while the mussels cook.
Remove the pot from the heat and discard any mussels that did not open.
Pour in a generous splash of cream and add a big handful of fresh parsley.
Season with black pepper and squeeze a little lemon over the top.
Stir everything around the pot and serve in big bowls with lemon wedges and warmed bread.
