Moules à la crème Normande
(Moules à la Normande)
Moules à la crème Normande is a traditional mussel dish originating from Normandy. It's made with mussels in a creamy sauce consisting of butter, cream, onions, garlic, shallots, cider, parsley, salt, and pepper. The onions, shallots, and parsley are sautéed in butter, then mixed with the washed mussels.
The combination is covered with cider and seasoned with pepper, then cooked until the mussels open. They're then removed, and the sauce is reduced and mixed with the cream. Finally, the mussels are mixed with the sauce, and the dish is then usually served with accompaniments such as fries or bread for mopping up the juices.
