Ingredients | Mussels In White Wine Sauce Recipe

4 cups mussels

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons chopped shallots

2 cups beef broth, divided

2 tablespoons anise-flavored liqueur

½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

½ red chile pepper, seeded and minced

1 cup white wine

10 leaves fresh basil, chopped

¼ cup light cream

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Soak mussels in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes; remove from water and scrub with a stiff brush to remove dirt if needed. Remove beard using a sharp knife if needed.

Melt butter with the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir garlic and shallots until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup beef broth, anise-flavored liqueur, jalapeno pepper, and red chile pepper to garlic-shallot mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir wine, remaining 1 cup beef broth, and basil into broth mixture; simmer.

Whisk light cream and cornstarch together in a bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; add to broth mixture and bring to a boil. Add mussels and lemon juice to boiling broth mixture and cover stockpot with a lid; cook until shells open, about 5 minutes. Discard any shells that didn't open.

Chopped tomatoes can be added when you add the peppers if desired. Although recipe calls for red chili pepper, I use green when I can't find the red.
