Mussels with Red Wine and Roasted Garlic image

Mussels take on a lusty new accent when steamed in fruity red wine infused with roasted garlic and thyme. A green salad and hunks of crusty bread complete this postcard from summer.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head garlic
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 tablespoons butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups fruity red wine, such as Gamay or Barbera
Coarse salt
4 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed thoroughly
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On parchment-lined foil, drizzle garlic with oil; tightly seal. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Once cool, remove cloves from papery skin and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat; add thyme and roasted garlic cloves. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, then add wine and season with salt. Bring to a boil, add mussels, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered and undisturbed, until shells have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir mussels and, with a slotted spoon, transfer to a warm serving bowl. (Discard unopened shells.) Return broth to a boil and reduce by half. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and parsley. Ladle sauce over mussels and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mussels turned out tough and rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but would cook the mussels for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

These mussels were a hit! The red wine and roasted garlic added a delicious depth of flavor. I served them with some crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Will definitely be making this again!
