Mussels in dor blue sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make mussels in dor blue sauce? Very quickly and so simply that even a novice cook can cope. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list.

2. Step 2:

   

   If you have fresh mussels, just rinse them thoroughly. Frozen mussels can not defrost. If there is an open one among the mussels, then it is spoiled. It needs to be thrown away. I pre-scalded the mussels with boiling water to immediately determine which ones are spoiled. In boiling water, mussels immediately open. And here it's the opposite - mussels that did not open when scalding need to be thrown away.

3. Step 3:

   

   Crumble the cheese with blue mold with your hands. There are different types of cheese with mold - dor blue, gorgonzola, etc.Take whichever one you like best. Gorgonzola sauce will taste sharper.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel and crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the greens, dry them and chop them finely. In addition to parsley and dill, you can add cilantro - it will give a spicy aroma and taste to the finished dish.

7. Step 6:

   

   Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed garlic cloves and heat for 2 minutes. Next, you can remove the garlic from the pan. I left it.

8. Step 7:

   

   Lay out the mussels. Pour in the wine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over high heat for 2 minutes. The mussels should open. Unopened mussels should also be thrown away – they are spoiled. Mussels and wine are classics of the genre. But if you don't want alcohol in the sauce, then instead of wine, you can pour in a double portion of vegetable or fish broth and boil the mussels in them.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour in vegetable or fish broth and cream. You can take cream of any fat content, but the best option is cream with a fat content of 20-23%, they are just right for sauces.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the crumbled cheese with mold. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly. Simmer all together for 2 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the mussels with chopped herbs and mix gently, taking care that the body of the mussels does not come off the flaps. Serve immediately with white wine. Bon appetit!
