MOULES MARINIERE by The Single Gourmet Online

Inspired by our upcoming Escape To Napa Valley, California, The Single Gourmet Online once again provides us with a simple, delicious and healthy dish, perfect for one! This classic French dish is full of flavor, especially when you use some of the best California ingredients- a good Napa Valley white wine and some delicious San Francisco sourdough bread for dipping!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 shallot, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, sliced

3/4 pound mussels, well-rinsed & beards removed

1/2 cup white wine

Juice of 1 lemon

1-2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

Salt- to taste

Freshly ground black pepper – to taste

1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley

Sourdough bread for serving

Directions:

- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots & cook for 4-5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic & cook for another 1-2 minutes.

- Add mussels & increase heat to high.

- When mussels start to open, add wine, lemon juice, thyme & bay leaf. Season with salt & pepper & bring to a boil.

- Cover & cook until all muscles open up, about 7-10 minutes.

- Take mussels off heat & discard and unopened ones. Remove stems from thyme & stir in fresh parsley.

- Serve warm with crusty sourdough bread for dipping.

- Enjoy!

   If only other webmasters would do what you have done and build a really worthwhile site on the subject. Most of them load the pages with junk, but this is exactly what I was looking for – MOULES MARINIERE by The Single Gourmet Online « Escape to Shape. Thank you from a very grateful Carrie Mason
