Mussels in White Wine

Preparation time 15 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

500 mL (2 cups) white wine
10 mL (2 tsp.) olive oil
125 mL (½ cup) shallots
2 kg (2.2 lb.) mussels
10 mL (2 tsp.) hot mustard
60 mL (¼ cup) 15% cream
To taste, pepper

Directions

Wash mussels under cold water.
Fry shallots in oil in a large casserole pot. When browned, add wine, mustard and cream.
Bring to a boil and add mussels. Stir vigorously so that mussels absorb sauce. Pepper to taste.
Cook over high heat, stirring regularly. Mussels are cooked once shells are open. Serve immediately.

Tip: When buying mussels, be sure the shells are tightly closed (a sign that they're fresh). Discard any open shells.
