Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds mussels
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced, sweet
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 beer bottle of your favorite
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, fresh
- baguette herb butter
- 1 ciabatta bread large
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup Herb I used cilantro, basil, thyme and oregano, freshly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flaked
Instructions
- Keep the mussels refrigerated until you’re ready to use. Once ready, place them in a large bowl of ice cold water. Scrub the outsides of the mussels and remove the string (or “beard”) by using a towel or paper towel to pull it out. Discard any mussels that have opened already. Keep the mussels in the ice water.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once it’s melted, stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add in the beer and honey, stirring to combine. Add the mussels and toss. Cover the skillet and cook just until the mussels open and the beer is simmering, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with the bacon and cilantro. Stir the mussels well so the broth makes it into the shells. Serve immediately with the baguettes.

Bake until the baguettes and warm and golden and toast, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the flaked salt. Serve immediately.
