the wine to go with it!!

In October, you can still enjoy mussels, which are still nice and plump, and pair them with mushrooms. The Atlantic mussel season I work with runs from early July to October. You’ll find some in June, but they’re not always as fine. You’ll find some in November, but they don’t taste as good.

Clean and wash the mussels in two or three changes of water.
Peel and dice an onion and fry it in a little butter in the pot you’ll cook the mussels in.
In a small frying pan, fry the chanterelles in butter.
When the onion is translucent, add a glass of white wine and put the mussels in to open (close the pot).
After five minutes, they’ll be cooked. Meanwhile, warm your plates in the oven at 85 °C.
Serve the mussels on the warm plates, add the chanterelles and the parmesan.
