STEAMED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC SAFFRON SAUCE
Steps:
- Clean 2 pounds (1 kilo) of fresh mussels under cold running water, begin by removing the beard from each mussel and then scrubing them clean, I like to use a butter knife to scrub the mussels, as you clean each mussel add them to a bowl and set aside, finely mince 4 cloves of garlic, finely dice 1/2 of an onion and finely chop a handful of fresh parsley
- Heat a large stock pot with a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add the diced onions and minced garlic and mix with the oil, after 3 minutes add 1/2 cup of white wine, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, pinch in 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads, lightly season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, mix it all together, 2 minutes later add the mussels into the stock pot, mix them with the sauce and place a lid on the pan, 5 to 6 minutes later remove the lid and transfer the mussels and sauce to a large shallow bowl (discard any mussels that did not open), garnish with the freshly chopped parsley, enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk crème fraîche and egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add Cognac and ignite with match. Let flames burn out; whisk in lemon juice and saffron. Set both mixtures aside.
- Place mussels in heavy large pot; pour in wine. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cover pot and cook until mussels open, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer mussels to baking sheet (discard any mussels that do not open). Remove top half of each mussel shell; divide mussels in bottom shells among 4 bowls. Tent with foil.
- Strain mussel cooking liquid from pot through sieve lined with damp paper towel into skillet with shallot mixture. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 minutes. Very slowly whisk hot liquid into crème fraîche mixture; return to same skillet. Stir over low heat just until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over mussels. Garnish with chives.
- Sold at some supermarkets. If unavailable, heat 1 cup whipping cream to lukewarm (85°F). Remove from heat and mix in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover and let stand in warm draft-free area until slightly thickened, 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature of room. Refrigerate until ready to use.
ALE-STEAMED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND MUSTARD
Looking for a sustainable, affordable seafood option back in a 2009 column, Melissa Clark landed on mussels. Here, she pairs them with a good ale, Dijon mustard, garlic, shallots and thyme for a quick weeknight dinner that's ready in 15 minutes. Just don't forget the baguette. You'll want it for soaking up all those juices.

Steps:
- Rinse mussels under cold running water. If you see hairy clumps around the shell (called beards), use a sharp knife or your fingers to pull them off, then scrub shells well with a vegetable brush.
- In a soup pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat olive oil, then add thyme, garlic, shallots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until shallots and garlic are softened, 3 minutes. Pour in ale and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and cover pot. Let mussels steam, stirring once or twice, until they open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mussels to bowls. Discard any that have not opened.
- Add butter, herbs and mustard to pan juices and bring to a boil. Whisk until butter melts, then taste and correct seasonings (add more butter if liquid tastes bitter). Pour over mussels and serve with bread for sopping up juices.

Steps:
- Steam mussels in wine until shells open. When cool enough to handle, remove mussels from shells and place in bowl. Cover with 1 cup of cooking liquid. Reserve enough half shells for number of mussels you have and refrigerate in plastic bag.
- In small bowl, using a whisk, beat egg yolk with vinegar and mustard. Season with generous pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Secure bowl on towel, potholder or rubber mat so it does not slide and, beating continuously, dribble in oil in thin stream. Mixture will gradually thicken to mayonnaise. If you are reluctant to make mayonnaise by hand you can use food processer but ingredients must be doubled for it to work, yielding twice as much mayonnaise as needed for recipe. Alternately, you can use 3/4 of cup of commercial mayonnaise.
- To make saffron seasoning, bring to boil 1/2 cup of cooking liquid that mussels were sitting in and pour 1 1/2 tablespoons over saffron in small dish. Allow saffron to steep for 15 minutes, then strain hot liquid into mayonnaise and mix well.
- Drain mussels well and mix with saffron mayonnaise. Just before serving, spoon mussel with sauce onto each half shell. You should have enough mussels to serve about 8 to each guest.

MUSSELS WITH SAFFRON MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- For the mayonnaise, soak the saffron in 1 tablespoon of hot water in a small bowl for 5 minutes. Whisk in the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the mussels, combine the fleur de sel and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside. Heat a large, dry (12-inch) cast iron skillet over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until very hot. Add the mussels in a single layer and cook them for one minute, until they start to open. Add the wine and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mussels are fully opened and just cooked. (Discard any that don't open.) Off the heat, sprinkle the mussels generously with the salt and pepper mixture. Serve hot from the skillet with individual bowls of saffron mayonnaise for dipping.
STEAMED MUSSELS WITH WINE AND SAFFRON
Steps:
- Clean and debeard mussels Holding mussels under cool running water, scrub with a stiff sponge (or vegetable brush); then debeard: Grip the tough fibers extending from shell and pull to remove (discard beards).
- Prepare cooking liquid Steep the saffron in the wine for 10 minutes. (Saffron is soluble in water, not fat, so it won't release its color or flavor if added directly to the butter.) Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-high heat in a shallow stockpot. Once it's foamy, add the shallots, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until shallots are transparent and garlic is soft, about 3 minutes, stirring every so often to keep the garlic from scorching. Pour in the wine and saffron, then add the tomatoes and return to a simmer, stirring once or twice.
- Steam mussels Add the mussels and cover tightly. Cook until all the mussels open, about 6 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. Discard any unopened mussels. (If using wild mussels, strain broth through a cheeseclothlined sieve to remove any sand, if necessary.) Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve Sprinkle with parsley before ladling the mussels and broth into bowls.
- Ingredients
- Wild mussels will have a more pronounced taste than farmed mussels, but can be more challenging to clean (they are worth the extra effort). When buying, avoid those with cracked shells or a strong odor. It's best to buy mussels the day you plan to cook them; store on a damp cloth in the refrigerator, in a covered container.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH SAFFRON AND TOMATO
Fresh Prince Edward Island mussels are God's gift to an appetizer menu. This dish has worked in every restaurant that I've been involved with and people just love it. If you don't have saffron, it's okay-but the curry is a must. I like serving grilled bread with this for sopping up the delicious broth.

Steps:
- Rinse the mussels under cold running water while scrubbing with a vegetable brush. Remove the stringy mussel beards with your thumb and index finger as you wash them. Discard any mussels with broken shells. Heat a 2-count drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, tomato, and bay leaves until the vegetables cook down to a pulp, about 5 minutes. Stir in the "saffron tea," red pepper flakes, and curry. Add the mussels and give everything a good toss. Add the vermouth, lemon juice, and chicken stock; cover the pot and steam over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until the mussels open. Stir occasionally so that all the mussels are in contact with the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels to a warm serving bowl and cover. Pick out the bay leaves. If some of the pieces of vegetables are nestled in the shells, don't sweat it. The sauce itself is a snap. Add the butter to the pot of mussel broth and buzz it down with a handheld blender (you can also transfer it to a regular blender or food processor). What you want is a smooth, yellow sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the mussels and shower with parsley before serving. Impressive and uncomplicated.

- Stir parsley into broth and pour over mussels.
