Instructions
Moules marinières
- Wash the mussels in cold water. Make sure no mussels are open, discard any open ones that won't close.
- In a large pot, fry the finely chopped vegetables in olive oil until tender. Pour in wine and cream, add the spices. Combine well and bring to a boil. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the mussels. Simmer over medium high heat with the lid on for 5 minutes or until the mussels open. Remove and throw away the mussels that don't open. Prepare the croutons while the mussels are simmering.
Garlic croutons
- Grease a spacious mug or glass bowl with butter. Add all the dry ingredients, and combine well. Crack in the eggs, and finally stir in the cream. Mix well.
- Microwave on high (700 W) for about 2 minutes. Check if the middle of the bread is firm. If not, microwave for another 15-30 seconds.
- Remove the bread from the bowl and let cool slightly. Dice the bread and fry in olive oil with the garlic over medium high heat until golden. Serve the mussels hot with finely chopped parsley and croutons.
