Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh mussels
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium shallots
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 lemon lemon, juiced
• 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mussels under cold running water and scrub their shells to remove any grit. Discard any mussels that remain open after tapping them gently against a surface.

Step 2

Finely mince the shallots and garlic.

Step 3

Heat a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Allow the broth to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the mussels to the skillet, stirring them gently to coat them in the broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 8

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mussels and broth to a serving bowl and garnish with extra chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a loaf of warm, crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful broth.
