    **RECIPE, MAKES ONE BIG PORTION, MULTIPLY AS NEEDED**
    1 lb (454g) live mussels
    1 cup white wine (237 mL)
    4-5 cloves of garlic
    1 small shallot
    1 lemon (one is enough for a few portions)
    1-2 tablespoons butter
    1-2 tablespoons olive oil
    red chili flakes
    fresh herbs (I like fennel fronds)
    salt
    pepper
    Pull any beards off of the mussels and wash them clean. Peel and chop the garlic, thinly slice or chop the shallot, pick and chop the herbs.
    Melt the butter in a pot on moderate heat (I don't like to let the butter brown), dump in the garlic and shallot and cook them for a minute. Put in the wine and bring it to a boil. Grate in some of the lemon zest. Put in as many chili flakes as you want and grind in some pepper. Pour in the oil.
    Dump the mussels in the pot, stir them around, cover and let them steam for a couple minutes before you start checking on them. Cook until the mussels open up, and stop before the meats appear to shrink - maybe 5 minutes, total. While you're waiting you can cut the lemon into wedges for the table.
    Use a slotted spoon to fish the mussels out to a serving bowl. If you see any that didn't open, either toss those, or hold them over somewhere that's not the pot or bowl and pry them open - if they look and smell good inside, they're probably fine.
    Taste the broth and consider adding salt and maybe a little lemon juice. Stir in the fresh herbs at the last second and pour the broth over the mussels. To eat them, I like to pull off the top shell (the one that isn't connected to the meat) and discard; take the shell with the meat and dip it into the broth to fill it up; slurp; repeat.

They make their noodles mostly out of pumpkin seed protein and the meaty flavor of their meatless soup bases comes courtesy of my new favorite ingredient - yeast extract, which you can learn about in this video of mine: ua-cam.com/video/7zEWtqkp1v8/v-deo.html

Grate a light amount of parm over them. Melt/sear with a kitchen torch. Serve sauce seperate with a spoon for add sauce straight to the half shell.

    Or as we call it in french, Moules à la Marinière, very traditionnal with french Fries. You could also go the "poulette" way and add cream and am egg yoll for thickening the sauce (with lemon, mariniere is usually only shallots or mirepoix with white wine, cider also works great). The best ones we got in Europe in my opinion come from the bay of Mont Saint Michel in Bretagne, I think many would agree

    Hey Adam, the denaturing of the proteins via heating is NOT what opens the shell. The shell of bivalves are held closed by muscles (some like scallops only have 1). This means that the shell can only stay closed when that muscle is contracting. When you boil the mussel alive, the impulses from its ganglion (nerve center/brain) cease and the muscle relaxes.
    Yes, muscles are made of protein but "denaturing protein" has nothing to do with why the muscles of a mussel release so you can eat some mussel muscle after you boil them alive.

    • @detubevanMaarten
      @detubevanMaarten 2 роки тому +14

      No Reilly, it's exactly the other way around: impulses from the CVS cause muscles to relax. When muscles have no energy left or don't get any impulses they tent to cramp up. A more likely reason why mussels open when cooked is because the heat of the water provides energy (since heat = energy) , so much so that the mussel relaxes it's muscle as a natural reflex to rid itself itself from the excess energy it recieves -- which ultimately fails causing the mussel to die and the proteins to denature. Same thing in humans, after a hottub or sauna session you will feel relaxed and a bit limb. On the contrary, picture yourself waking up after a hard day of work/exercise.

      @@detubevanMaarten sorry thats not how it works. Muscles contract on impulse. No more impulse = no more contraction = relaxation. It has nothing to do with excess energy or protein denaturing.
      You are explaining things as you experience them and not how they work. Muscles naturally are relaxed and only contract with a nervous impulse, this is why people shake and cramp when having a seizure.
      To relax a muscle you don't send an impulse to the muscle saying relax, you just don't send an impulse.
      Also your theory on heat doesn't make sense. Bivalves will close in unfavorable conditions and retract their siphons. Their 3 layer shell (protein, CaCO3, CaCO3) seals very well and is thermally insulating. This is why mussels can dry out in low tide with the hot summer sun beating on them just to go back to normal with the tide rises 6 hours later.

      @@detubevanMaarten You are correct but for the wrong reasons. Muscles contract due to electrical stimulus from neurons at the motor end plate of the intramuscular junction. The death of the brain results in the tightening of muscle fibers which seems counter intuitive, no signal = no contraction right? Wrong. The heavy chain head of myosin within myofibers(muscle cells) is bound to The actin filaments within muscle cells, when contraction stimulus occurs, ATP binds the the myosin, separating the myosin and actin, from this point ATP phosphorylates into ADP and Pi “cocking” the myosin head, ADP unbinds resulting in the “power stroke” which is the contraction and finally Pi unbinds resulting in the MyOsin and actin returning to RIGOR. (Where the term rigormortis comes from). Now that the lesson is done: a dead creature cannot produce ATP therefore the myosin and acting remains tightly bound causing the muscles to remain contracted after death. This occurs not immediately but shortly after death, relaxation then contraction until eventually the actin and myosin fully breakdown.

    Cool video I'm from PEI, we always look at the muscles while we are washing them and if they are open just tap them around abit and let the cold water run into the shell, if they don't close they are dead chuck em out. Also you can use one of the upper shells to slide under the muscle (loosening the small scallop looking thing) so you don't waste any bits.

    I love mussels. Used to have them all the time until red tide became the norm at least where I am. My grandma would just cook up some garlic, onions, and fresh tomatoes before adding some water or stock to make a quick soup. Then she would just add the mussels last minute and she serves them with rice. Looking back, I think I devoured at least 30 individual mussels each time. They were that good

    In my home region of Zeeland in the Netherlands mussels are cultivated on a large scale. Lots of it for export (to Belgium in particular) but I eat them since I’m probably 7 or so. It took me a long time to realize though that it is a very versatile food that you can make in 100 different ways, depending on the local produce in the country. For me though, the “real “ way of preparing them is with onion, carrot, celery and white wine or beer, fresh whole wheat bread on the side and some vinegar as “dip”. Oh and we would use 1 kg, 2 lbs per person. 1 lbs is a child’s portion 😄

    Dear Adam, I couldn't help but notice that you do not yet master the art of mussel eating. This however is not a problem, as I shall enlighten you.:
    You must first empty a complete shell whilst keeping it intact.
    The you must use said empty shell as a tweezer-like utensil, with which you can now extract other mussels from their shells, regularly dipping their meat in the succulent brothh whilst pinching them.
    Best regards, Pedantic Viktor.

    I made this last night. It was good because I love mussels, but there was something wrong with the broth. It was very bitter. I put a brave face on it and soldiered through, and I got used to it about half way through, but I have had much better in restaurants. I'm pretty sure the problem was the wine. I used chardonnay which is my wine of choice for drinking, but it's not sweet. For this, next time, I'll choose a sweeter wine like a Reisling. I'll have to experiment, but if anyone has any thoughts as to why this was so bitter, I'd love to hear them.
