Creamy Lemon Garlic Mussels

Ingredients

• 1 lb mussels, cleaned
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1-2 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp flour
• 1 cup broth
• 2 tbsp mussel cooking liquid

Method

1. 1 Rinse mussels in fresh water. In a covered saucepan, heat oil, garlic, parsley, and pepper over medium heat.
2. 2 Add mussels to the pan. Cover and shake occasionally until mussels open, about 5-7 minutes. Remove mussels and set aside.
3. 3 In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and flour. Add broth and reserved mussel liquid, whisking until smooth.
4. 4 Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining liquid. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a smooth cream.
5. 5 Pour the warm egg sauce over the cooked mussels and serve immediately.
