Ideal for 2-3 people // Preparation Time: 15 min // Cooking Time: 10 min. A simple recipe to make. Start by washing the mussels and putting them under cold water. Next, put them in a saucepan and add about 40g of butter and 60g of shallots (diced) as well as parsley. Finish by adding white wine (about 10cl) and pepper. Let cook on high heat with a lid. As soon as the mussels are open, take the saucepan off the heat. Stir regularly during the cooking time. This kit only includes the mussels but we encourage you to purchase the other items needed on MagicTomato.ch.

2. Deglaze with the beer and simmer on a low heat for 1 to 1h30 hours.
