Brothy Mussels With Oven Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack. In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches of water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain; let stand until dry, 10 minutes. Toss with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Carefully transfer, cut-side down, to baking sheet and roast, flipping once, until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, return pot to medium-high heat; swirl in 1 tablespoon butter and remaining oil. Add garlic; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and wine; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until reduced slightly, 3 minutes. Stir in mussels, cover, and cook until all have opened (discard any that haven't), 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mussels to a bowl with a slotted spoon; stir remaining butter into broth. Pour sauce over mussels and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with oven fries and mayonnaise.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or straight-sided 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mussels, cover and steam until open, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large serving bowl.
• Add the creme fraiche, parsley, butter, chives and mustard to the remaining cooking liquid and bring just to a boil while stirring to combine. Pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve with French fries.

Steps:

• Wash the mussels, scrubbing them thoroughly and carefully removing any attached hairy filaments.
• Discard any shells that are open!
• Peel the onion and slice into rings.
• Trim and wash the celery and cut into slices.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion, and saute until translucent.
• Add the celery and sautee briefly.
• Peel and crush the garlic and add it to the skillet.
• Add the mussels and vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
• Cover tightly and cook for about 8 minutes.
• Remove the mussels when all the shells have opened and keep warm.
• Pass the liquid through a fine strainer into a clean saucepan.
• Cook over high heat until reduced to about 1/3 of original volume.
• Stir in the Sour Cream and just heat through.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Wash and shake dry the parsley, remove the leaves from the stalks and chop the leaves finely.
• Sprinkle the parsley over the sauce.
• Place mussels in sauce and serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Add a splash of the beef broth, jalapeno, and red chile pepper, and simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
• Add the tomatoes, basil leaves, white wine, and remaining beef broth. Bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of the light cream, and pour it and the rest of the cream into the stock pot. Return to a boil, and add the mussels. Cook until all of the shells have opened, about 5 minutes.
