About the Recipe

Moules Marinières Persillées is a delightful French seafood dish featuring fresh mussels cooked in white wine, butter, and aromatic herbs. This quick and flavorful recipe is perfect for an elegant appetizer or a light main course served with crusty bread or fries.

Ingredients

  • 2 kg mussels, cleaned

  • 2 onions, finely sliced

  • 1 branch celery, diced

  • 0.5 bunch parsley, roughly chopped

  • 20 g butter

  • 25 cl dry white wine

Preparation

Method


  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    Clean the mussels thoroughly, discarding any that are cracked or do not close when tapped. Finely slice the onions and dice the celery.


  2. Sauté the Vegetables:

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, stirring frequently, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.


  3. Cook the Mussels:

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, followed by the white wine. Stir well to combine.


  4. Add the Parsley:

    Remove the parsley leaves from the stems, chop roughly, and add them to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally to ensure even cooking.


  5. Serve:

    Once the mussels are open, they are ready to serve. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.



Serving Suggestion: Serve the mussels hot, accompanied by crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or pair them with golden fries for a traditional French "Moules-Frites" experience.
