Yield Makes 2 main-course or 4 to 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds mussels, scrubbed under cold running water and debearded
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 garlic clove, crushed, plus 1 more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon aquavit or brandy
2 tablespoons heavy (whipping) cream or crème fraîche
Fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Throw out any mussels with cracked shells or that did not close when you scrubbed them.
  • Heat the butter over medium heat in a pot just large enough to hold the mussels. Sauté the shallots and garlic for 4 to 5 minutes. Add half the tarragon, the thyme, vinegar, fennel seeds, aquavit, and mussels. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cover and let steam for 6 to 7 minutes, until the mussels have opened. With a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large serving bowl; discard any that did not open.
  • Add the cream to the cooking juices and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until slightly reduced. Season with salt and a little more minced garlic, if desired. Pour the cooking juices over the mussels, sprinkle with the rest of the tarragon, and serve.

ANDREAS VIESTAD'S MOCK AQUAVIT



Andreas Viestad's Mock Aquavit image

It's often difficult to find aquavit here in the liquor stores of the United States. So if you have a hankering for that potent liquor, here's a substitute for you. :) You can experiment with all sorts of flavors, not just caraway. Recipe adapted from "Kitchen of Light: New Scandinavian Cooking with Andreas Viestad" by Andres Viestad. Prep time includes infusion.

Time P14D

Yield 1 liter

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons dill seeds
2 star anise
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 whole clove
1 cinnamon stick, 1-inch long (optional)
2 teaspoons cumin seeds (optional)
1 liter potato vodka

Steps:

  • Open the vodka bottle, add all the remaining ingredients, and cover tightly.
  • Let stand in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks, shaking every 3 or 4 days - how long you let it sit depends on how strong you want it, so taste it after 2 weeks to see if you want to let it go longer.
  • When it's as strong as you'd like, strain the solids through a sieve and discard them, then transfer the aquavit back into the bottle.
  • To serve: place your aquavit in the freezer until chilled and you can also place your 1 ounce tall glasses in the refrigerator until chilled - then serve (ask your Scandinavian friends about toasting practices with aquavit, as it can be rather complicated).
  • Note: some people prefer non-potato vodka - use whatever you like.
