Ridiculously easy, everyone will be impressed when you whip this up. We recently toured the Penn Cove Shellfish farm on Whidbey Island. Absolutely the coolest things ever. If you get a chance to go - do so! Their website is www.penncoveshellfish.com
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 lemon (or more to taste), quartered
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 pounds Penn Cove mussels, rinsed and debearded
2 medium size fresh ripe tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dice
In a large pot, melt butter over medium high. Saute garlic and shallot for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in half of parsley until fragrant and lemon quarters. Add mussels and stir until coated in butter and herbs.
Add wine, lemon juice and cream. Bring to simmer. Cover pot and steam for approximately 5 minutes. Remove cover and check to make sure mussels have opened. Stir in tomato and remaining parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in large shallow bowls with plenty of bread to dip in the delicious broth.
This makes enough for 2 entrees, or 4-6 as appetizers
