This Dutch-style pot keeps the flavours clean and familiar: good mussels, aromatic vegetables, white wine and just enough butter to round out the broth.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 13 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 2 kg
Leek – 1, sliced
Celery stalks – 3, chopped
Onion – 1, sliced
Garlic – 2 cloves, sliced
White wine – 250 ml
Butter – 30 g
Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped
Black pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Check and clean the mussels, then leave them in a colander while you get the vegetables ready.
STEP 2
Melt the butter in a tall pot and add the leek, celery and onion. Let them soften for a few minutes so they perfume the whole dish.
STEP 3
Add the garlic, then pour in the white wine. Let the liquid come up to the boil before adding the mussels.
STEP 4
Tip in the mussels, cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes, giving the pan a good shake halfway through.
STEP 5
Scatter in the parsley, season with black pepper and bring the pot straight to the table with bread, fries or both.
