Ingredients
1.5kglive mussels, cleaned
1 cup / 2white wine and shallot
1kgthick-cut fries
Instructions
1
Saute the shallot in butter until softened, then add the wine and bring it to a simmer so the alcohol cooks off slightly before the mussels go in.
2
Add the mussels, cover tightly, and steam for 5-6 minutes, giving the pot a shake halfway through so they cook evenly.
3
Discard any mussels that have not opened.
4
Serve immediately in the pot alongside proper crispy fries and the buttery broth for dipping.
