Ingredients
- - 1.5 to 2 kg of fresh mussels
- - 3 large shallots
- - 250 ml of premium dry white wine
- - 500 ml of thick creamy crème
- - 125 g of smooth Roquefort
- - A bit of salted butter
- - Chopped fresh parsley
- - Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
1. Start by thoroughly cleaning the mussels under cold water before moving on to the preparation.
2. Melt a good knob of butter in a pot, then sweat the finely chopped shallots until they become translucent.
3. Then add the cream and the previously crushed Roquefort, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture.
4. Incorporate the chopped parsley and season to your taste. Let it simmer over medium heat for the flavors to meld.
5. In a pot, heat the white wine, then add the mussels. Cover and let the mussels open for about 5 minutes.
6. Once the mussels are open, you can drain them or drizzle them with the sauce for a creamy touch. Keep the cooking juice if you like; it's just as tasty, although the sauce will be a bit more liquid.
7. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
8. Serve promptly for an optimal tasting experience.
