Mussels with Mustard and Mayo Fries
Serves: 2
Ingredients
1kg packet of ready to cook Boston Bay Kinkawooka Mussels
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp of dry mustard
2 tsp water
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup dry white wine
3 tbs unsalted butter
500g packet of frozen French fries
2 tbs parsley, roughly chopped
Method
1 Open the pack of Boston Bay Kinkawooka ready to cook mussels and strain off the water. Give them a quick rinse under cold water.
2 Heat the pot on the stove with approximately 1cm of water. When the water is boiling, add the mussels, cover with a lid and steam them for a couple of minutes, stirring every minute or so until they open.
3 Try to make sure every mussel comes into contact with the heat, which helps to make sure they open.
4 Remove from the heat and strain the mussels off, keeping some of the liquid in a bowl.
5 Cook the French fries in the oven as per the packet instructions - keep warm in the oven if necessary.
6 In a medium pot, add butter, onion and garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook covered on a medium heat until golden - stir occasionally.
7 Whisk mustard and water together until smooth in texture. Add mayonnaise and a pinch of pepper and whisk together.
8 Add wine to the onion and bring to the simmer, stirring occasionally - about 5 mins. Add the mussels, liquid and parsley, stir and cover for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt.
9 Serve with fries and mustard mayo.
