Mussels with mayonnaise are a delicate seafood appetizer perfect for starting a meal with freshness and flavor. The mussels are steamed and then served with a delicious mayonnaise-based sauce, giving them a creamy texture and a slightly tangy taste. The dish is characterized by a perfect balance between the sweetness of the mussels and the creaminess of the mayonnaise, enriched by the aromatic scent of parsley and onion. Mussels with mayonnaise are a simple appetizer to prepare and highly appreciated by seafood lovers.
Thoroughly wash the mussels under running water, scrubbing them with a stiff brush to remove all encrustations
Finely chop the onion and parsley and place them in a large pan along with the mussels and a few peppercorns
Without adding any liquid, let the mussels open spontaneously over high heat: once they are all open, remove them from the pan and detach the shell part containing the mollusk, leaving it in place
Arrange the mussels on a serving dish
Let the liquid released by the mollusks settle, then strain it through a damp cloth
Put the white wine and chopped shallot in a saucepan and boil until the wine is reduced by half, then add half a glass of the liquid: strain it and add a tablespoon of cream, then let it cool
Prepare the mayonnaise and slowly dilute it with the prepared mixture; then season it with lemon juice and a teaspoon of mustard
Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve them cold
