Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots, plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped (about 3 total)
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 pounds (about 100 small) mussels, scrubbed and debearded
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish
Lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Add mussels; cover and cook, stirring once, until mussels open, about 3 minutes. (Discard unopened shells.)
  • Remove mussels with a slotted spoon; discard cooking liquid. Chill mussels in a bowl in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
  • Whisk together mustard, chopped shallots, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in parsley. Vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Toss chilled mussels with 1/2 cup vinaigrette. If desired, serve on the half shell on a bed of lettuce. Garnish with parsley. Drizzle with more vinaigrette, if desired.

This recipe was just okay. The mussels were cooked well, but the vinaigrette was a bit too acidic for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was the worst mussel recipe I've ever tried. The mussels were overcooked and tough, and the vinaigrette was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of parsley, so I used cilantro instead. The recipe still turned out great! The mussels were cooked perfectly, and the vinaigrette was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again with cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used shrimp instead. The recipe still turned out great! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the vinaigrette was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again with shrimp.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mussels were a little overcooked. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These mussels were delightful! The parsley vinaigrette was light and flavorful, and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. Will definitely be making this again!
