Excerpt
Mussels Steamed in Belgian Ale, Shallots & Herbs
SERVES 2
2 Tbsp butter
¼ cup (1 oz/30 g) finely chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
¾ cup (6 fl oz/180 ml) Belgian ale
1 lb (500 g) mussels, scrubbed well and beards removed
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread for serving
In a wide pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute longer.
Add the ale and bring just to a boil.
