This is an easy and delicious variation on the classic Moules Marinière. You can leave out the mustard if you wish, and/or the cream.... But then you won't be making my recipe! Be sure to have lots of crusty bread to sop up the luscious sauce.

Tips:

  • Fresh mussels are key: Choose mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a sharp knife to remove the beards (the fibrous strands that protrude from the shells).
  • Cook the mussels in a flavorful broth: The broth is what gives the mussels their flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. White wine, shallots, garlic, and herbs are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. They're done when they're just opaque and tender.
  • Serve the mussels with crusty bread: Mussels are delicious served with crusty bread for dipping in the flavorful broth.
