Moules au Champagne
In my French husband family, Moules au Champagne are legendary! More then 10 years ago, my mother-in-law cooked mussels with an entire bottle of Champagne! And my father-in-law is still protesting against it!
But we have to say: they were the best mussels I’ve ever had!
Serves 2
1 kg of clean, fresh mussels
1 tablespoon of Extra-virgin olive oil San Lorenzo
2 garlic cloves
Basil
1/2 bottle of Champagne Grande Réserve Sélection San Lorenzo
In a big pan, put, in order, oil, garlic, mussels, basil and drizzle everything with the half bottle of Champagne Grande Réserve Sélection San Lorenzo. Put the pan on high heat, cover. Shake after 5 minutes, then let it cook for 10-15 minutes, until all the mussels are cooked and open.
Serve straight away, drinking the rest of the Champagne Grande Réserve Sélection San Lorenzo.
