Steamed Mussels With Chile Lemongrass Recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 medium red onion, sliced

1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed, center portion finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1/2 Thai chile or 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

1 pound mussels, scrubbed and debearded

2 cups dry white wine

1 1/2 ounces Glace de Fruits de Mer Gold® dissolved in 1 cup hot water

3 large sprigs flat-leaf parsley

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt and ground black pepper

Melt the butter in a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it is just wilted, then stir in the lemongrass, garlic, and chile and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the mussels, wine, diluted Glace de Fruits de Mer Gold®, and parsley. Cover the pan and cook just until mussels open, checking frequently after 4 minutes and transferring opened mussels to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. (Discard any unopened mussels after 8 minutes.)
Strain the cooking liquid by pouring it over the mussels through a fine-mesh sieve. Squeeze on the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, stir, and serve.
