Easy Belgian Moules Frites

Belgium's classic — mussels steamed briefly in white wine and shallot until they just open, discarding any that don't. Always served alongside proper crispy fries.

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.
