| Moules Mariniere |
This week in
French Friday's With Dorie our assignment was mussels. Fresh mussels are a shell fish the whole family enjoys. We are not much of a fish eating family. In Dorie's version, they are cooked in white wine with some chopped onion, shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley, a bay leaf and lemon zest. Cook until the mussels are steamed open. That's it - you have a fantastic dinner that is ready in minutes and requires little effort to prepare. And did I mention, these mussels are delicious:)
This recipe can be found on pages 312-313 in
"Around My French Table."
I haven't had mussels in years, Geraldine. I do miss them though. They are best when cooked simply and quickly:)

ReplyDeleteHow nice that your whole family enjoyed these. I’m the holdout this week…I’m not fond of shellfish. My husband loved them!
ReplyDeleteLooking good and happy that the entire family enjoyed this week's recipe! Will certainly make this again if I lay hands on some freshly caught ones!
ReplyDeleteHow can a family not enjoy these together with a big pot of them to play with?
