Mussels with garlic white wine broth Recipe, makes one big portion, multiply as needed 1 lb (454g) live mussels 1 cup white wine (237 mL) 4-5 cloves of garlic 1 small shallot 1 lemon (one is enough for a few portions) 1-2 tablespoons butter 1-2 tablespoons olive oil red chili flakes fresh herbs (I like fennel fronds) salt pepper Pull any beards off of the mussels and wash them clean. Peel and chop the garlic, thinly slice or chop the shallot, pick and chop the herbs. Melt the butter in a pot on moderate heat (I don't like to let the butter brown, dump in the garlic and shallot and cook them for a minute. Put in the wine and bring it to a boil. Grate in some of the lemon zest. Put in as many chili flakes as you want and grind in some pepper. Pour in the oil. Dump the mussels in the pot, stir them around, cover and let them steam for a couple minutes before you start checking on them. Cook until the mussels open up, and stop before the meats appear to shrink maybe 5 minutes, total. While you're waiting you can cut the lemon into wedges for the table. Use a slotted spoon to fish the mussels out to a serving bowl. If you see any that didn't open, either toss those, or hold them over somewhere that's not the pot or bowl and pry them open if they look and smell good inside, they're probably fine. Taste the broth and consider adding salt and maybe a little lemon juice. Stir in the fresh herbs at the last second and pour the broth over the mussels. To eat them, I like to pull off the top shell (the one that isn't connected to the meat) and discard; take the shell with the meat and dip it into the broth to fill it up; slurp; repeat.

I am feeling something similar to what you described in your hunting video.
Idk something about buying a live animal and cooking it seems immoral. I know it makes no sense because I eat animals all the time but I guess it feels wrong to do the killing yourself? Like I'd be put off if I had to butcher a chicken too. I'd still eat it anyways but I wouldn't enjoy that part

Fun story, I went camping with my friend at Porto Rico beach (Morocco and not the island) and he said don't buy food because we will eat what we fish there only to catch nothing and starved at the dawn I saw a colony of big mussels and cooked it quickly with butter and garlic and it was one of the most delicious dishes we ever had.

I really love mussels. My favourite way to cook them is using beer, delicious. Serving them with a nive bright tomato sauce. Make extra so you can use them to make mussel gratin.
As for eating them, I prefer the fish one mussel out of its shell and use the shell as clamps for the other mussels.

Food-snobs who say it's either fresh or junk are dead-wrong when it comes to seafood. If you can't get to the beach in the time it takes to watch an episode of Hawaii 5-0, you live outside the realm of fresh seafood.

Would love to see you make a video on visiting a mussels farm. The way they harvest and producd them always fascinated me, doubly so because of how efficient and sustainable the mussels themselves are

I love mussels with egg noodles, because noodles are great with broth but at the same time, because they aren't absorbent like bread, there's still enough broth for the mussels.

EY! ISLANDER REP!
Yeah our mussels are well known for being absurdly good. One of our main exports other than potatoes!
Good to see some island mussels love.
Cheers!

Been eating mussels since i was a kid. One of my favorite food to eat with a lot of friends. Will definitely try the non-white wine version of this recipe.

Mussels might easily be my favourite food. I only ate them boiled with spicy rice back home but will definetely give this recipe a chance
