Ingredients:

2 pounds of fresh mussels

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of white wine

1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of butter

1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup of heavy cream

1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Clean and Prepare the Mussels

Start by cleaning the mussels thoroughly. Scrub the shells under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any mussels with broken shells or that don’t close when tapped. Set aside.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In your Monsieur Cuisine machine, select the «Sauté» function and heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take approximately 5 minutes.

3. Steam the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the Monsieur Cuisine bowl and pour in the white wine and chicken or vegetable broth. Close the lid and select the «Steam» function. Set the temperature to 100°C and steam the mussels for 5 minutes, or until they have fully opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.

4. Prepare the Sauce

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

5. Combine the Mussels and Sauce

Once the mussels are cooked, carefully transfer them to a serving dish using a slotted spoon. Pour the prepared sauce over the mussels and gently toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Mejillones al Vapor con Salsa is best served immediately. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy this delectable seafood dish with family and friends!
