Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds cultivated mussels
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (5 to 7 shallots)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (5 to 6 cloves)
1/2 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, drained (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon good saffron threads
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup good white wine
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
  • In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH WINE AND SAFFRON



Steamed Mussels with Wine and Saffron image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds fresh mussels
1 large pinch saffron (about 30 threads)
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Holding mussels under cool running water, scrub with a stiff sponge or vegetable brush, then debeard: grip the tough fibers extending from the shell and pull to remove. Discard beards.
  • Steep saffron in wine for 10 minutes. (Saffron is soluble in water, not fat, so it won't release its color or flavor if added directly to the butter.) Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-high heat in a shallow stockpot. Once it's foamy, add shallots, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until shallots are transparent and garlic is soft, about 3 minutes, stirring every so often to keep garlic from scorching. Pour in wine and saffron, then add tomatoes and return to a simmer, stirring once or twice.
  • Add mussels and cover tightly. Cook until all mussels open, about 6 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. Discard any unopened mussels. If using wild mussels, strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove any sand, if necessary. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle with parsley before ladling mussels and broth into bowls.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Always clean and devein shrimp before cooking. Fresh mussels should be scrubbed and debearded. Prosciutto can be thinly sliced or torn into smaller pieces.
  • Sautéing: Use a large skillet or sauté pan to ensure even cooking. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the prosciutto until crispy. Remove the prosciutto from the pan and set aside.
  • Cooking the Seafood: Add the shrimp and mussels to the pan and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the mussels have opened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sauce: Combine the white wine, chicken broth, garlic, saffron, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the seafood and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Garnish and Serve: Stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Serve the mussels and shrimp with the crispy prosciutto and a side of crusty bread for dipping.

Conclusion:

This elegant and flavorful dish combines the briny sweetness of mussels and shrimp with the salty richness of prosciutto. The garlic, saffron, and wine sauce adds a delicate and aromatic touch, making this dish perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.
