With notes of grapefruit, green apple and pear, Deu la Deu Alvarinho white from Portugal is fantastic with seafood or fish.
Here is the recipe. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 6 thick slices of bread
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 3 garlic cloves - 1 cut in half, 2 thinly sliced
- 1/2 lb kielbasa sausage, quartered and thinly sliced
- 1 med shallot, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 lbs mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 1 1/2 cups lager
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Brush the bread with olive oil and transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven until golden and toasted. Remove from oven when finished cooking, and lightly rub the garlic clove halves over the toasts.
- In a large, deep pot, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the kielbasa, shallot and sliced garlic, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring until the garlic is softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the mussels and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the lager, cover and steam the mussels until they open, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large, deep bowl, discarding any mussels that do not open.
- Add the butter, mustard and dill to the broth, swirling and shaking the pot until the butter melts. Slowly pour the broth over the mussels, stopping before you reach the grit at the bottom of the pot. Serve the mussels with the garlic toasts.
