Active: 15 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  2. 1/2 large shallot, diced
  3. 3 cloves garlic, crushed with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and finely chopped to a paste
  4. 4 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded, such as Prince Edward Island mussels
  5. 1/2 cup dry, fruity white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
  6. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
  7. 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
  8. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
  9. 1 French baguette, torn into large pieces

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large high-sided Dutch oven over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Sweat the shallots and garlic by cooking for about 30 seconds. Add the mussels and wine; stir to combine.
  2. Cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until some of the mussels start to open, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and red chile flakes. Add the butter, cover and cook until all the mussels have opened and the flavors have infused, 1 to 2 more minutes.    
  3. Transfer the mussels to a large serving dish, discarding any that didn’t open. Ladle the broth over the mussels and serve with chunks of the torn baguette.

I followed the recipe to the letter.
It came out delicious. I was very pleased with myself. The only thing I did differently was I sliced the baguette sprinkled with good olive oil and salt and pepper then toasted them. A great tool for sopping up the sauce. Yummy
Thank You Chef Bobby Flay ❤️

I love Bobby Flay, but this dish has little flavor. I even used more garlic. It didn’t help. Won’t make it again.

Came out awesome! Classic and just what I was looking for. Only change was I added chicken broth with the wine and pinch sea salt with the red pepper flakes. Got compliment it was restaurant worthy. 🙂 thanks Chef Clay 🙂
