How to Make Island Mussels With Wild Mushrooms And Cream
- Clean the mussels thoroughly, discarding any that are open and don't close when tapped.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced wild mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or a mix) and cook for 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add 2 pounds of cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
- Serve immediately, spooning the creamy sauce over the mussels. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
