STEAMED MUSSELS

SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES COOK TIME: 15 MINUTES

This recipe for steamed mussels is another appetizer menu staple, and rightly so because it’s simply delicious. Sop up the juices with a generous chunk of gluten-free bread or serve it over a heap of gluten-free pasta.

EGG-FREE

NUT-FREE

ONE POT

SPLURGE-WORTHY

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons cold butter, divided

1 yellow onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

3 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded

½ cup dry white wine

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

½ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

1 lemon, halved

1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter.

2. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is somewhat softened.

3. Add the mussels and white wine and give everything a good toss. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the mussels steam open, about 5 minutes.

4. Transfer any opened mussels to a serving dish, while cooking the rest until all are opened. Discard any mussels that have not opened after 10 minutes.

5. Continue simmering the pan juices for another 2 to 3 minutes until somewhat reduced.

6. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, one tablespoon at a time, to thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce over the mussels.

7. Shower with the fresh parsley and squeeze the lemon juice over, watching for any seeds. Serve immediately.
