Skyr brings fresh acidity instead of richness, so the broth stays light, clean and gently creamy around the mussels.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 50 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 1.8 kg
Shallots – 2, chopped
Butter – 25 g
Dry white wine – 150 ml
Skyr – 150 g
Fresh dill – 3 tbsp, chopped
Lemon zest – 1 tsp
Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
White pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Clean the mussels and let them drain. In a separate bowl loosen the skyr with a spoonful of cold water so it will blend more easily later.
STEP 2
Sweat the shallots in butter, add the wine and bring it to the boil.
STEP 3
Steam the mussels until opened, then reduce the heat to low.
STEP 4
Stir a few spoonfuls of hot broth into the skyr first, then add that mixture back to the pot. This keeps it from splitting.
STEP 5
Finish with dill, lemon zest, lemon juice and white pepper and serve right away.
