I was walking through the grocery store the other day and noticed that the mussels were on sale for about $5 buck per pound. I don’t know about any of you, but I love these mollusks. Not only for personal consumption; as a chef this is one of the easiest items to prepare while impressing your guests.
1pound Mussels
1 Tbs. Olive oil
2 Clove Garlic (chopped)
2 sprigs Fresh Tarragon (chopped)
½ cup Sundried Tomatoes (Julianne)
2 cups Crofut Prairie Blanc
½ pound butter (room temp is the best)
Salt & Pepper to taste
In Sautee pan heat olive oil and garlic. Add Mussels, Sundried Tomatoes, Tarragon and Vino. Bring to a boil and reduce the wine by half. Doing this allows plenty of time for the mussels to open without becoming over cooked. Once reduced, add butter while swirling the pan so the butter melts in the wine. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour in large serving bowl, allowing the sauce to cover the mussels. Discard any un-opened mussels. Serve with crusty bread and drink the remained of the wine….
Easy-peasy!
