mussels with sour
cream and bacon
Preparing the ingredients. Clean all the
vegetables. Cut the white and green of a few
pieces of leek diagonally into thick rings.
Remove the leaves from a few stalks of green
celery and cut the stalks into slices. Cut a
yellow onion into slices.
Peel half a bulb of garlic cloves and press them
through a garlic press. Peel a few carrots and
cut them diagonally into slices. Cut spring
onions into pieces about three centimetres
long. Wash and clean the mussels.
Fry in a dry pan a few finely chopped bacon
slices until crispy.
Preparation. Let a large knob of butter bubble
in a cooking pot. Put in all the prepared
vegetables, including the celery leaves, and
stew them under a lid for about five minutes
until tender. Stir occasionally.
Pour a glass of white wine into the pot and add
a few tablespoons of mussel spice mix. Stir and
let it simmer for another minute.
Increase the heat under the pot and add the
mussels. Stir with a skimmer so that the
vegetables are mixed well with the mussels.
Close the lid and leave to cook for about five
minutes until the lid begins to rattle from the
escaping vapour. Spoon over and check
whether the mussels have opened sufficiently.
Add a full pot of sour cream to the mussel
preparation, that is about 200 ml.
On the plate. Fill deep plates with mussels and
vegetables using a skimmer and pour a ladle of
sauce over them. Finish with a handful of
bacon and some freshly chopped celery
greens.
