用白葡萄酒蒸的贻贝是一道经典菜，但啤酒是一种很好的选择。贻贝的自然甜度通过啤酒或啤酒平衡，智利增加了一丝热量。您可以将香菜种子添加到啤酒中，但是由于不紧张，它们最终会进入您的牙齿；这就是为什么我将它们包裹在芝士塞中或将它们放入茶水中的原因。

2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1个洋葱，切碎
1/2 small fennel bulb, finely chopped, fronds set aside
1/2 serrano chile with seeds
1 cup lager or pale ale
1 Tbs. coriander seeds, crushed and placed in a tea ball or wrapped in cheesecloth
1 fresh bay leaf
2-1/4 lb. cleaned mussels (see tip)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, to serve

Preparation

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. When melted, add the onion, fennel, and chile. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.
Add the beer, coriander, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, then add the cleaned mussels. Stir, then cover and cook for about 5 minutes, giving the pan a couple of shakes, until the mussels open; discard any that don’t open. While the mussels are cooking, chop the fennel fronds.
Remove the coriander seeds and bay leaf from the pan. Season the mussels with salt and pepper. Ladle the mussels and liquid into warm bowls, sprinkle with the chopped fronds, and serve with crusty bread.

Tip

Mussels are usually sold already cleaned and only require a rinse under cold water before cooking. If they still have their “beard” attached, pull the beard and cut it off with a small knife. Scrape off any barnacles attached to the shell, then rinse. Check the mussels after rinsing to make sure they are all firmly closed. Discard any that do not close after a tap on the counter, or that have broken shells.

Easy recipe. Didn't like the finish like I do when you use wine.

Delicious! Quick and easy to prepare. I used hard apple cider in place of ale as it's in season. Also, used red pepper flakes instead of serrano chile. We have mussels several times a year and this is my new favorite!
