With an aromatic broth for sopping up with fries, these briny mussels make even the most mundane weeknight feel like a night out at a bistro.
Slowly sweating the shallots and garlic brings out their mellow sweetness, which complements the fresh, briny flavor of the mussels.Since welcoming our first child in August, my husband and I have relied on the fastest, easiest, bang-for-your-buck meals because, as any new parent will tell you, we’re exhausted. A meal that ticks all of these boxes? Moules frites, a Belgian meal of steamed mussels served alongside French fries and mayonnaise.
The peskiest part of preparing wild mussels is freeing them of debris. Most grocery stores, however, source farm-raised mussels that grow on vertical ropes.
