Posted in Main Courses on February 12, 2017 by majcych

Classic, and so so good. It came about as a perfect ending to my hubby’s birthday weekend celebration; but what a great dish for any romantic night… super timely, just in time for Valentines Day. 


Ingredients:

4 lbs mussels 

2 tbsp olive oil

5 tbsp butter

1 Fennel finely chopped

2 shallots finely chopped 

7 cloves of garlic minced

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup of cream

2 cups white wine

1/3 cup of chopped parsley

10 thyme sprigs


Sauté shallots, fennel and crushed red pepper flakes  in olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter until soft. Add garlic and sauté for another 2 min. Add cream, wine, herbs and season well with salt. Add mussels, cover and cook for 10 to 15 min. Serve with fresh baguette 😌😋🤗
