Directions

Make A Beurre Blanc

Combine white wine, shallots, and lemon juice in sauce pot. Bring to simmer and let the mixture reduce by two-thirds. Add the heavy cream to the pot. Bring to simmer and reduce by half. With a hand blender, slowly incorporate the butter cubes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reserve in bain-marie or on stove at low heat to keep it hot.

In a large pot over medium heat, add your cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and let sweat down. Add your mussels over the garlic. Toss.
