Mussels with Thyme and Shallots
RECIPE BY: Normaone
Green Lip mussels are my favorite, but any will do. If you like mussels, this is a dish to try. It can be an appetizer for up to 6 people or a meal for 2. Be sure to serve it with some fresh crusty bread to sop up the juices. Yum!

I used white wine in place of the vermouth, just because I was too lazy to stop off at another store, but it came out very good. I used 1 lb. green lip and 1 lb. black mussels. I've never made mussels before, thanks for making my first experience easy and delicious!

This was wonderful! I doubled the recipe as it was a main course for four. I served with crusty bread and linguine and it was superb. Will definitely make this again. (I served a good quality crisp Chardonnay. Mmmmgood!)

Normaone, I'm so glad you posted this - I haven't cooked mussels in so long I'd forgotten a couple of tricks like the bay leaves and vermouth instead of wine. This is so delicious. We used Green Lip mussels fresh from New Zealand, but left out the clam juice and just put a bit of salt in instead. Very yum.
