Moules frites (mussels and fries)

Ingredients

1kg mussels, beards removed and cleaned
3 shallots, sliced thin
4 cloves garlic, diced fine
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, picked and finely sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
150ml white wine
30g butter
salt to taste
chips and garlic mayo to serve

Directions

In a large pot with a lid over high heat, add the oil, shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Next, add the mussels and stir well, add the wine and cover with the lid. Shake the pot well and place it back on the high heat for 5-6 minutes (don't open the lid).
When the time is up, open the lid and make sure the mussels are open. If they are, add the butter and give it a shake before adding the parsley and stir.
Serve the mussels with some toasted bread or chips and garlic mayo.
