Beer creates a flavorful broth for these simple mussels. Make sure to have some crusty bread on hand to soak up the broth.
Special Diets:
Method
In a large saucepot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add beer and bring to a boil.
Arrange mussels in the pot and cook, shaking the pot vigorously every 2 minutes or so, until mussels have opened and are hot throughout, 7 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels that don't open.)
Ladle mussels and their broth into bowls, top with parsley and thyme and serve hot.
