How to Make Steamed Fresh Mussels In A Creamy Broth
- Scrub 1.5 lbs of fresh mussels thoroughly under cold running water, removing any attached beards or filaments. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close when tapped.
- Peel and thinly slice 1 medium onion.
- Trim and thinly slice 2 stalks of celery.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the celery and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Mince 4 cloves of garlic and add to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the mussels and 1 cup of vegetable stock to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
- Cover tightly and steam for 6-8 minutes, or until all the mussel shells have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
- Remove the cooked mussels from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
- Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
- Bring the strained liquid to a boil over high heat and reduce until it thickens to about 1/3 of its original volume, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream and heat through gently. Do not boil.
- Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley leaves.
- Stir the chopped parsley into the creamy sauce.
- Return the mussels to the sauce and gently toss to coat.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
