A classic dish that uses beer instead of wine as a flavour - a great variation.
Method
-
Heat a large, lidded saucepan and add the olive oil.
-
Add the shallots and garlic and cook for one minute.
-
Add the mussels and pour in the beer. Mix through, turn up the heat and put the lid on.
-
Cook, shaking the pan every now and again until all the mussels have opened and are cooked. Remove any mussels that remain closed.
-
Spoon into serving bowls with the juices, sprinkle with parsley and serve with rustic bread.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
