Mussels mariniere

In Europe, especially in France, moules mariniére are traditionally served in the pot in which they were cooked. A large baguette (French bread) is supplied to “mop up” any of the remaining broth.

  • 5 pounds U.S. farm-raised mussels
  • 2 cups white wine
  • 1 scallions, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme

Rinse the mussels in cold water. Pour the wine into a large saucepot. Add the scallions, chopped celery, minced garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil. Add the cleaned mussels, stir and cover the pot. Allow 3 minutes after the liquid returns to a boil. Once the mussels start to open, stir the mussels to encourage opening. Transfer the cooked mussels to a serving bowl and pour the broth over them (discard any mussels that have not opened).
