Stages of cooking
-
Wash the mussels first. Remove the beards and throw away the dead mussels (if any). Check whether the mussels are dead by tapping the shells with a knife. If they open quickly after the tapping, it means that they are dead. Having sorted out quality mussels, take a pot, melt the butter and fry the shallots and pepper in it. Add thyme, bay leaf, black pepper and salt.
-
Add beer and bring to a boil.
-
Then add mussels and cover the pot with the lid. Cook for about 2.5-3 minutes, stir the mussels and keep cooking for about 1 minute more.
-
Now, remove the mussels from the pot with the broth and throw away those of them, which have not opened. This means that they are also dead. Then add mustard and cream. Pour the broth on the mussels.
-
Serve with crusty pieces of bread. Bon appétit!
