Moules Frites
Description
These mussels are steamed in white wine, butter, and shallots, and served with Dijon mayonnaise and French fries for an appetizer or light meal.
Ingreadient :
- 14 ounces store-bought frozen french fries (from 1 [28-ounce] bag)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 ounces)
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 3 pounds mussels
- 2 tablespoons parsley, roughly chopped
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Direction :
- Cook French fries according to package instructions.
- While fries cook, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and kosher salt, and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and stir to coat in aromatics. Cover pot and cook until mussels just begin to open, about 5 minutes. Taste cooking liquid and add salt as needed. Top mussels with parsley and serve with lemon wedges alongside French fries and Dijon mayonnaise dipping sauce.
