Mussels French Style is a delicious appetizer of French origin. This recipe combines the flavor of mussels with a creamy sauce made from cream, mayonnaise, and mustard. The result is a rich and flavorful dish that pairs perfectly with lemon juice and fresh parsley. Mussels French Style are ideal for starting a special dinner or for a light lunch.
Vigorously scrub the mussels under running water with a stiff brush to remove any dirt and algae; then place them in a pan
Finely chop the onion and parsley and add them to the mussels
Place the pan over high heat and leave it until the shells open spontaneously due to the heat
Remove the mussels from the heat; open the shells and discard those without mollusks
Arrange the shells with the mollusks on the serving dish
Strain the cooking liquid left in the pan through a very fine mesh cloth
Put the white wine in a saucepan with the finely chopped shallot and let it reduce by two-thirds over high heat
At this point, add half a glass of the mussel liquid and continue cooking until it has evaporated by half
Strain this liquid through the previously used cloth and incorporate the cream
Put the mayonnaise in a bowl; add the mustard, the strained liquid, the lemon juice, and the very finely chopped tarragon, and stir thoroughly until everything is perfectly blended
Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve immediately
