2 Days Until Our First Meeting

In honor of our upcoming meeting I thought I would share with you the recipe we are going to do a cooking demonstration for. This recipe is also from Ruth Reichl's book Garlic and Sapphires.

Moules Marinieres

4 pounds mussels
1 onion, diced
2 shallots, diced
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Chopped Parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Wash the mussels

Combine the onion, shallots, and wine in a large pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the mussels, cover, and cook over high heat, shaking from time to time, for about 4 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard unopened mussels.

Add the butter and chopped parsley. Season the broth to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in individual bowls, with an extra bowl for empty shells and a loaf of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
Serves 4

We will have a chef from Pacific Lutheran University come walk you through this recipe at our meeting so please come join us for this delicious meal! Also there have been rumors of a free take home prize too!

Remember Wednesday February 24th at 6:30pm! Hope to see you there!
