== Description ==
Mussels Luxembourg-style
== Ingredients ==
* 3 – 4 kg cleaned mussels
* 2 leeks
* 1 carrot
* 1 onion
* 1 – 2 shallots
* 1 large stick of celery and some celery leaf
* a bunch of parsley
* 5 bulbs of garlic
* ½ bottle of riesling
* 150 g butter
* pepper and salt
* a sprig of thyme
* 2 tarragon leaves
== Directions ==
# Clean all the vegetables, except the garlic, and chop them very finely.
# Allow the butter to reach room temperature so that it is soft.
# Lightly fry the onion and shallots in 50 grammes of butter in a large pot, and add all the chopped vegetables and the thyme and tarragon, also finely chopped.
# Pour ½ of riesling, and allow to simmer for a quarter of an hour.
# During this time, crush the garlic, and mix with the remaining 100 grammes of butter.
# To this add a little freshly milled pepper.
# Put the pot on a very high heat, and drop the mussels into the boiling contents, pouring in the rest of the wine.
# Cover firmly.
# Every two minutes stir with a circular movement to make sure the mussels do not remain at the bottom of the pot.
# After ten minutes almost all the mussels should have opened.
# Now put the garlic butter in the pot.
# In two or three minutes, with regular stirring, the sauce should have mixed thoroughly.
# Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
# Crisp pommes frites should be served with mussels, and an outstanding riesling.
