FAQ
Mussels go well with other seafood, especially steamer clams and crab. Pair mussels with bread, fluffy rice, and pasta!
Mussels only cook for 3-5 minutes on high heat. As soon as they pop open, they're done. Any mussels that don't open during the cooking process should be discarded.
HOW TO CLEAN MUSSELS BEFORE COOKING
It's important to clean and debeard mussels prior to cooking. After being cleaned mussels will need to be cooked right away, so don't clean too far in advance. This process is fast!

TO MAKE STOUT STEAMED MUSSELS YOU WILL NEED
INGREDIENTS
- Fresh Mussels. I received mine from our friends at Taylor Shellfish. The mussels were delivered to my door in great packaging. They were large and juicy!
- Stout Beer. I used Mount Olympus Brewing Salute Stout, which has notes of caramel and chocolate. It's absolutely perfect in this dish, but any stout will do if you can't find it.
- Butter. Unsalted. Replace with dairy-free butter if needed.
- Brown Crimini Mushrooms. Left whole, no need to cut anything. leaving the mushrooms whole makes them a great size to compete with large mussels. Mushrooms pair so beautifully in this dish, soaking up the broth while providing some flavor back as well.
- Garlic, finely chopped. A staple!
- Dried Minced Onion. This provides the broth with incredible flavor and a must.
- Fresh Sage. From the refrigerated section at your local grocery store. Be sure to chop it.
- Fresh Lemon Juice. Fresh squeezed is best for flavor!
- Salt and pepper to taste. It will just need a touch.
