Provided by Ina Garten

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Lemon aioli:
1 large egg yolk
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 teaspoon (or more) fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Mussels:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
4 pounds mussels, debearded, scrubbed
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Sliced country-style bread, toasted (for serving)

Steps:

  • For lemon aioli:
  • Whisk egg yolk, garlic, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, drizzle in vegetable oil, then olive oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until aioli is emulsified. Season with salt and more lemon juice, if desired. Cover; chill.
  • DO AHEAD: Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For mussels:
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it begins to darken, about 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
  • Add mussels and 1/2 cup water to pot, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open (discard any that do not open), 10-12 minutes.
  • Ladle mussels and broth into shallow bowls and top with thyme; serve with bread and lemon aioli.

Tips:

  • Prep Mussels Carefully: Ensure mussels are thoroughly cleaned and debearded before cooking to remove any grit or impurities.
  • Use Fresh Mussels: Fresh mussels are essential for the best flavor and texture. Look for mussels with tightly closed shells that are free from cracks or damage.
  • Choose Quality White Wine: Opt for a dry white wine with a crisp and acidic flavor to complement the mussels. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Chardonnay are good choices.
  • Don't Overcook Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve Immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after cooking to maintain their delicate flavor and texture.
