Prep Time 25 minutes
Wine Champagne, Gruner Veltliner
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg fresh mussels
  • 2 tins of anchovies in olive oil
  • 100 gr butter
  • 15 gr fresh dill
  • 1 baguette

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Add the anchovies and let them sit on low heat for about 15 minutes, until the anchovies have also melted into the butter.
  • Rinse and sort the mussels. Discard any that don’t close when you wash them.
  • Add the good mussels to the pan with the butter and anchovies. Turn the heat up slightly (to medium), cover with a lid, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
  • Finely chop the dill and add it to the pan once all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that stayed closed — they’re not good.
  • Slice your baguette.
  • Scoop the mussels into a serving bowl and pour the cooking liquid into a small bowl or jug to use as a dipping sauce for the baguette.
