Perfect Moules Marinière | French Guy Cooking

hi youtubers i'm alex the french guy cooking and today we're making an all-time french classic the mull marine as known as mussels in mariner sauce fresh seafood in a battery white wine and shallot sauce so it's tasty it's cheap it's easy and it's a french dish you can make in under 10 minutes come on guys let's do it first off grab a few shallots and mince them roughly bash two cloves of garlic pick up a small bunch of parsley and a stalk of celery for both separate the leaves from the stocks we'll use the fine and tender leaves in the dish but the fiber stocks will pimp and pump up the flavors of a bunch of dried herbs so i guess that's it for the mizon plus me some plus yeah million plus is just a fancy french word for preparation but you know it's always good to insert a fancy french word into a cooking conversation no i was touched by the chef's museum place at the cafe but it felt like deja vu yeah maybe that's too much now we need some mussels and i reckon this seafood is quite amazing it's cheap delicious versatile and on top of that it's sustainable use about a kilo of mussels for two people start by rinsing them under running cold water give them a good scrub and remove any dirt barnacles or fiber stuff very important discount the broken ones and also the ones who would not close when lightly squeezed in a large casserole pan over medium heat add a good knob of butter i mean a serious one infusing the bunch of dried herbs in the sizzling butter will ensure a better distribution of the aromas at the end drop in the shallots and the garlic and cook them till they get soft after a few minutes pour in a good amount of fresh and acidic white wine like muscade or sauvignon or whatever wine you like season well with salt and pepper and let the wine evaporate a bit so the amount of wine in this recipe is totally up to you i am using half a bottle of it because i like it and also because i want to spare some glasses for the meal afterwards you can use beer instead or you can use apple cider as well or if you don't want to use alcohol you can use a pint of veg stock and a drizzle of vinegar and still the dish will be amazing i'm telling you french cooking is not cast in stone what's important is that you own it place the mussels in along with the cell release cook them covered for about five minutes stirring once or twice when they open nicely they are ready to go just discard the closed ones it might not be exactly in the classic muscle mariner recipe but i like to add a dash of double cream in mine you know just to make it a bit more naughty and also because i own it sprinkle that with parsley and stir well to combine all those lovely ingredients together the flavors are intense and perfectly balanced butter mussels and shallots bring a deep richness yet the white wine and the herbs bring a much appreciated freshness serve them as they are or with french fries on the side so guys that's it i told you this recipe is nothing difficult and considering the amazing result at the end you should definitely give it a try so like comment share it on your social media and subscribe to future back to my own channel as well for many more delicious recipes bye what you need more ok i made a french pepper spy with an american twist crispy creamy and with bold flavors it is the unity made comfy dish check out the video right now on my channel merci
