Servings
4
- 2 kg fresh Zeeland mussels, the larger the better (and more expensive)
- 100-200 g peeled and thinly sliced carrots
- 100 g thinly sliced celery
- a small leek, thinly sliced
- 6-10 garlic cloves, finely chopped (this is one secret ingredient!)
- a small onion, finely chopped
- 100-200 ml dry white wine
- 0.5 g saffron
Instructions
- 1
Clean the mussels and discard those that appear to be dead, i.e. will not close their shells when a friendly pressure has been applied a few times.
- 2
Parboil the veggie mix in the microwave oven at full power (700 W), 1.5 minutes for every 100 gram of vegetables.
- 3
Transfer the vegetables to a 6 liter casserole, add the wine, the saffron and the mussels and bring to a boil.
- 4
Stir now and then (about every 10 seconds), using a wooden fork if available, until all the mussels have opened (this should only take a few minutes). The dish is now ready to be served.
