Mussels With White Wine And Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub the mussels. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the parsley.
• Heat half the butter with the oil, then add the garlic and mussels.
• Pour in the wine, season, cover and cook over a high heat until the mussels open.
• Drain the mussels, keeping the cooking liquid. Remove the mussels from the shells, and discard the shells and any that haven't opened.
• Heat the remaining butter in a pan, and add the mussel juices and the cream.
• Cook gently to reduce to a rich, creamy consistency. Then add the mussels and parsley.
• Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and add to the sauce. Toss together over a low heat and serve.

Steps:

• To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
• In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large wide pot with a lid or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, paprika and a generous grinding of pepper; cook, stirring until the garlic is just turning golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels have opened wide, 6 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Stir in the parsley and chives and serve with french fries on the side.

Steps:

• Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water. Using your fingers or a paring knife, remove beards (strings that hang from the mussels' shells), and discard.
• In a large stockpot set over medium heat, combine wine, shallots, garlic, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add mussels.
• Cover, and increase heat to high. Cook until all mussels are open, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs and butter. Remove from heat. Divide mussels and broth among four bowls. Serve immediately.

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.

• 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.

• Enjoy!

• Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mussels until they release their water, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Cut any large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
