Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh mussels
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- Salt for seasoning
Instructions
- 1. Start by cleaning the mussels. Scrub them under cold water and remove any beards or barnacles. Discard any mussels that are cracked or do not close when tapped.
- 2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
- 3. Add the white wine and chicken broth to the pot, and bring to a simmer.
- 4. Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
- 5. While the mussels are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- 6. Fry the potato fries in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
- 7. In a small saucepan, melt the tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for a minute or two until the mixture is lightly golden.
- 8. Slowly whisk in the cooking liquid from the mussels, and cook until the sauce thickens.
- 9. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 10. Serve the mussels in bowls, with the sauce poured over the top. Serve the crispy fries on the side.
- 11. Enjoy your delicious mussels and fries!
