Sommelier’s tip
Chablis
A convivial dish that is quick to prepare, and perfect for a meal amongst friends. Its simple flavors are the ideal match for a Chablis wine, its mineral flavors bringing out the saline notes of the mussels while the seasonings provide a delicious twist. The natural flavors of a Chablis would make it the perfect partner for this dish.
Method
Carefully wash and clean the mussels. Put two tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy saucepan and fry the chopped onion and shallots without browning. Add the mussels and stir, the pepper and stir again. Add the wine and cover.
Stir several times to ensure the mussels cook evenly. When the mussels are open, they are cooked. Discard any that haven’t opened. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and cilantro, spoon onto a large platter and enjoy!
We suggest you accompany this dish with the same Chablis wine as was used in its preparation.
