Moules Marinieres (Sailors Mussels)
This is one of my favourite dishes of all time and is oh so easy to make. I live by the beach and love a bowl of mussels for a lovely summer lunch. Chilli Mussels are popular here in Aus but this is my MUCH preferred way to eat mussels

- 1
Clean the mussels in a sink of water and remove the beards (your fishmonger MAY do this for you but I always do my own). THROW OUT ANY THAT DO NOT CLOSE WHEN YOU TAP THEM SHARPLY (note: I do not use greenlipped mussels as they are tough and chewy the smaller black ones are way better)
- 2
Chop onion and garlic
- 3
Sautee onion and garlic until soft but do not let it brown
- 4
Add the mussels to the pan with onion and garlic
- 5
Pour over the wine. COVER and cook the mussels for about ten minutes until they are all open
- 6
Meanwhile, mix the flour and butter to a paste
- 7
Strain the wine into another small pan and boil rapidly then add the butter/flour paste and mix into the liquid. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens (about 3 or 4 mins)
- 8
Optional - sprinkle parsley sprigs onto mussels
- 9
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with crusty bread/baguette
