Mussels in Raspberry Balsamic and Garlic Butter

Mussels in Raspberry Balsamic and Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 2 tbsp raspberry balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mussels:

    • Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped, as they are no longer fresh.
  2. Cook the Garlic Butter:

    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Deglaze and Add Flavor:

    • If using white wine, pour it into the pot and allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
    • Stir in the raspberry balsamic vinegar and let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become fragrant.
  4. Cook the Mussels:

    • Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid.
    • Cook for about 5-7 minutes, occasionally shaking the pot, until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that do not open.
  5. Finish the Dish:

    • Once the mussels are fully cooked, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • If you like a little extra richness, you can stir in a bit more butter at this point.
  6. Serve:

    • Spoon the mussels and the sauce into bowls. Be sure to drizzle plenty of the garlic-balsamic butter over the mussels.
    • Serve with warm, crusty bread for dipping in the delicious sauce.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair the mussels with a crisp, chilled white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay) to complement the flavors.
  • You can also serve them with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.

This dish is perfect for a casual yet elegant meal, bringing together the sweet-tart raspberry balsamic vinegar and the savory richness of garlic butter. The mussels absorb all the amazing flavors, making every bite a treat!
