  • 1.8 kgs mussels, cleaned and beards removed
  • 80g salted butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic, sliced into chips

Classic Moules a la Marinere

There is no alternative to the wonderful fresh sea taste of mussels! Serve with some beautiful bread like baguette or country loaf. Remember ti discard mussels that are open before cooking and closed after cooking.

In a large saucepan saute the onions in the butter with the NoMU Provencal Rub and garlic. Increase the heat to high and add the white wine and the mussels. Quickley cover with a lid and continue to cook on high heat for 3 - 4 mintues, shaking the pan every now and then until the mussels have opened. Reduce the heat and add the cream into the pan.

Spoon the mussels into an elegant platter. Add the parsley into the remaining sauce and pour over the mussels.

Wine suggestions

Graham Beck Brut NV. Just a great combination. This one will be perfect as it will enhance the minerality of this classic dish and will show notes of fresh apples and will keep the palate crisp.
