Preparation and cooking times
- Rinse the mussels in cold water thoroughly. If any of the mussels are open, tap it, if it do not close throw it away as it means it is dead :( .... poor guy!
- Melt the butter in a large pan, then throw in the shallots. After approx 2 minutes whack up the heat to the max and add the mussels and 150ml of the cider.
- Add the garlic, chives, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper into the pan and stir.
- Place the lid on the pan and cook those babies for 5 - 8 minutes until all the mussels have opened. If any of the mussels are still closed throw them in the bin as they won't do your stomach much good!
- Serve the mussels in bowls and place a large bowl in the middle of the table to place your empty shells after eating those tasty buggers.
- f you want to look like you really know what you're doing, break a mussel shell in half and use it as a spoon to eat your mussels. After all, it's what the French do!
- Enjoy :)
