Be sure to buy live mussels. Any open mussels that do not close when you press their shells a few times are dead, and you should discard them.

MUSSELS IN GARLIC, TOMATO AND WHITE WINE



Mussels in Garlic, Tomato and White Wine image

A simple but nutritious way to prepare this lovely mollusc. The poaching/steaming/serving sauce should be simple but cooked slowly and with love. Mussels should be cooked very quickly and with respect. Use mussels in the half-shell. You'll probably buy them frozen. Defrost well and naturally beforehand. New Zealand green-lipped mussels are beautiful, and most other lovely plump mussels are delicious. The photo for this recipe was made with Saldana Bay mussels from the West Coast of South Africa.

Categories     Fish     Garlic     Shellfish     Bass     Halibut     Clam     Mussel     White Wine     Summer     Parsley     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound striped bass fillets
3/4 pound halibut fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 chopped garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley plus additional for garnish
Salt
Pepper
20 clams (scrubbed)
16 mussels (scrubbed and debearded)
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Cut striped bass fillets and halibut fillets into 2-inch cubes (don't use tuna or salmon - they do not belong in a fish stew). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots, chopped garlic, and dried crushed red pepper. After they are light brown (about 2 minutes), add parsley, then quickly throw in the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste. After the fish is lightly colored, add clams and mussels and white wine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (when the mussels and clams open, the stew is done). Okay? Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve with 1/2-inch-thick slices of Italian bread, fried in olive oil, on the side. That's it; it's done.

BROILED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND WHITE WINE



BROILED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND WHITE WINE image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Broil

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

1lb fresh mussels
2Tbsp butter
¼cup white wine
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 shallot chopped
1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian Parsley
sea salt
Ground pepper

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash mussels and rinse with cold water. Remove beards. Carefully shuck mussels and place meat in one half shell. Place in shallow baking dish. Melt butter in pan. Add garlic and shallots and sautee approx 2 min. Add wine and continue until shallots are tender. Add chopped parsley and lemon juice, stir and remove from heat. Spoon garlic mixture over mussels. Salt and pepper to taste. Broil until garlic becomes crisp and mussels reach internal temp of 150°.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
  • Purge the mussels before cooking: This will help to remove any sand or grit from the mussels. To do this, place the mussels in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Drain the water and repeat the process two more times.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give the mussels plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the mussels will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the mussels over medium heat: This will help to prevent the mussels from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cover the pot while cooking: This will help to create steam and cook the mussels more evenly.
  • Shake the pot occasionally: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the mussels from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the mussels until they are just tender: Overcooked mussels will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Garlic and White Wine Mussels is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. The mussels are cooked in a flavorful broth made with garlic, white wine, butter, and herbs. Serve the mussels with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
