Moules-frites

Ingredients

• 1.5 kg mussels
• White wine
• Shallot
• Garlic
• Parsley
• Fries

How to make it

1. Clean mussels and discard any open ones that do not close. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
2. Cook shallot and garlic, then add wine. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
3. Steam mussels until open. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
4. Serve with parsley, broth and fries. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
