Ingredients

For the mussels: 

1 kg of mussels
1 shallot 
5 cloves of garlic 
75 g of butter or oil 
1 bunch of parsley leaves
1/3 jar of Elderflower Peaso
150 ml white wine 
70 g of cream (optional)

For the toast:

1 loaf of sourdough bread 
250 g of butter 
2/3 jar of elderflower paste 
30 ml of Nordic Shoyu

Method

Prepare the mussels:

  • Clean the mussels, removing the beards. 
  • Slice the garlic cloves and set aside. 
  • Dice the shallot finely (brunoise) and set aside. 
  • Separate and finely chop the parsley leaves; set aside. 
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the shallot and garlic until translucent. 
  • Increase the heat, add the mussels and white wine. Cover and cook for about two minutes or until they open. 
  • Remove the mussels, reserving the cooking liquid. 
  • Add the cream and reduce the cooking liquid by half. 
  • Add the Elderflower Peaso and chopped parsley. 
  • Season with salt to taste and pour the sauce over the cooked mussels. 

 

Prepare the toast: 

  • Cut the bread into slices about two fingers thick and set aside. 
  • Place the butter in a skillet and heat to 145°C or until it reaches a noisette (nutty brown) stage. 
  • Add the Elderflower Peaso. Stir well and allow to cool until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency. 
  • Stir in the Nordic Shoyu and set aside. 
  • Spread the butter onto the sliced bread. 
  • Toast the buttered bread in the oven at 200°C for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
