Mussels Dijonnaise image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been able to get it right. The sauce is always too thin.
