MOULES MARINIERE
Nearly all mussels available at supermarkets or fish markets today are farmed and not harvested wild. However, if wild mussels are available, the best way to rid them of sand and mud is to add about 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to a large container of salted water. Then add the live mussels (which have not yet been debearded) and let sit in the mixture for 2 to 3 hours. The mussels will eat the flour and purge themselves of debris, as well as plump up. Remember that an open mussel that closes when pressed is good; if the mussel stays open after being pressed, it is bad and should be discarded.

Steps:
- In a large deep saute pan or pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and herb sprigs, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the shallots are soft, about 1 minute. Add the wine, pepper, and salt and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels are opened, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and discard any mussels that have not opened. Transfer the mussels and their liquid to a large, deep serving bowl and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the French bread croutons for dipping.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the bread slices on a large baking sheet and brush 1 side of each slice first with the cut garlic cloves and then with the olive oil, and then lightly season with the salt and pepper. Bake until light golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Cool slightly on the baking sheet before handling or serving.

Steps:
- Clean and prep mussels: Put the mussels in a bowl of salted water (1 tablespoon salt per quart of water) for 10-15 minutes. Throw out any that are wide open or refuse to close when you handle them as these ones are likely dead. Looking over the closed mussels, see if any still have their beards (long hairy byssal threads which help anchor the mussel to surfaces) and pull them out, pulling slowly and strongly towards the hinge of the shell.
- Sauté shallots and garlic: Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the shallots and cook a couple minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook a minute more. If you want your sauce to be a little thick, add a teaspoon or two of flour to the pan, stir to combine. (Otherwise skip the flour.)

MUSSELS MARINIERE
Steps:
- Scrub mussels. Pull off beards, the tuft of fibers that attach each mussel to it's shell, cutting them at the base with a paring knife. Discard those that do not close when you handle them and any with broken shells. Set aside.

- Strain liquid, and return to pot. Add remaining butter and parsley. Heat until butter melts. Pour over mussels.

MUSSELS DIJONNAISE
This is an easy and delicious variation on the classic Moules Marinière. You can leave out the mustard if you wish, and/or the cream.... But then you won't be making my recipe! Be sure to have lots of crusty bread to sop up the luscious sauce.

- Wash the mussels under cold, running water. Discard any open ones that won't close when lightly squeezed. Pull out the tough, fibrous beards protruding from between the tightly closed shells and then knock off any barnacles with a large knife. Give the mussels another quick rinse to remove any little pieces of shell.
- Melt butter in a large casserole or cooking pot over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and saute until fragrant. Put the parsley, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and let sit for a couple of seconds.
- Add the mussels and toss lightly with the herbs until coated. Pour in the dry white wine and stir. Cover and increase heat to high, cook for 6 to 10 minutes. As soon as all the mussels are open, transfer mussels to a bowl using tongs.
- Add double cream/crème fraîche (if using). Stir and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the sauce into the bowl where the mussels are and add more parsley and some lemon juice if you fancy. Serve and enjoy. Bon Appetit!
