Spiced Mussels In White Wine Recipes

25-MINUTE MUSSELS IN WHITE WINE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• To clean mussels, scrub them with a stiff brush under cold running water to remove any grit. Discard any mussels with cracked or broken shells, or that do not close.
• In a large lidded pot over medium-high heat, stir butter until melted. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it has softened and started to brown, 6-8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
• Add the red pepper flakes and season with salt. Stir to combine.
• Add the mussels and stir until completely coated. Add the white wine and stir.
• Put the lid on the pot and cook until the mussels have opened, 3-5 minutes. Discard any shells that don't open after 5 minutes.
• Add the parsley and stir. Serve with bread.
• Enjoy!

MUSSELS, WHITE WINE & PARSLEY

Steps:

• Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
• Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
• If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
• Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
• Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
• Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

Add 1 cup beef broth, anise-flavored liqueur, jalapeno pepper, and red chile pepper to garlic-shallot mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.
