I live for dishes like this. Fresh mussels served in a simple sauce with french fries on the side to soak up all the leftovers - delicious! Next time you have some mates coming around, this is a great dish to start with.

I live for dishes like this. Fresh mussels served in a simple sauce with french fries on the side to soak up all the leftovers - delicious! Next time you have some mates coming around, this is a great dish to start with.
Ingredients
- 1kg mussels, beards removed and cleaned
- 3 shallots, sliced thin
- 4 cloves garlic, diced fine
- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, picked and finely sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150ml white wine
- 30g butter
- salt to taste
- chips and garlic mayo to serve
Directions
In a large pot with a lid over high heat, add the oil, shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Next, add the mussels and stir well, add the wine and cover with the lid. Shake the pot well and place it back on the high heat for 5-6 minutes (don't open the lid).
- When the time is up, open the lid and make sure the mussels are open. If they are, add the butter and give it a shake before adding the parsley and stir.
- Serve the mussels with some toasted bread or chips and garlic mayo.
