blue mussels

One of the easiest dishes to make as an appetizer. The hardest part of making this dish is getting the clams.

Preparation time: about 20 minutes
Level: Easy
Serves: For two to four

Ingredients:
1 kg of fresh blue mussels
3 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
300 ml of whipped cream
200 ml of dry white wine
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil for frying the onions and garlic

Preparation:

1. Finely chop the onions and garlic, heat the olive oil in a thick-bottomed cooking pot or deep pan to medium heat, and fry the onions and garlic for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
2. Add whipped cream and white wine, add some sea salt and black pepper, and let it boil. Do not add too much salt, clams are salty themselves.
3. Add the mussels, mix with the sauce, and cover with a lid. Simmer under the lid for about 7-8 minutes until the clams have opened. Sealed clams are spoiled and should not be eaten.
4. Mix the clams with the sauce and serve immediately.
