Drunken Mussels

Drunken Mussels

Created by Victoria Cookware on April 13, 2017

  • Prep Time: 10m
  • Cook Time: 10m
  • Total Time: 20m
  • Yield: 4 Serves
  • Category: Healthy, Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds mussels in shells (cleaned)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 full sprigs of thyme
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 large shallots (chopped)
  • 1 cup andouille sausage (sliced)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup favorite light ale
  • 1 tablespoon butter, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Rinse mussels under cold running water. If you see hairy clumps around the shell (called beards), use a sharp knife or your fingers to pull them off, then scrub shells well with a vegetable brush.
  2. In a cast iron wok, heat olive oil, add sausage and cook until golden brown. Add thyme, garlic, shallots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until shallots and garlic are softened, 3 minutes. Pour in ale and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and cover pot with aluminum foil. Let mussels steam, stirring once or twice, until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove mussels with a slotted spoon and place in serving bowls. Discard any that have not opened.
  3. Add butter, herbs and mustard to pan juices and bring to a boil. Whisk until butter melts, then taste and correct seasonings (add more butter if liquid tastes bitter). Pour over mussels and serve with your favorite bread.

If you’re wondering how to care for your cast ir If you’re wondering how to care for your cast iron, it’s pretty simple! After washing and drying your cast iron, apply a thin layer of oil over the surface. It will keep it in great condition! #VictoriaCookware
