Mussels With White Wine

This classic recipe for mussels with white wine offers a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy fresh seafood at home. Steaming the mussels in a fragrant base of softened onions, garlic, and tomato purée creates a rich, savoury broth that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the shellfish. It is a wonderful dairy-free option for those seeking a light but impressive lunch or dinner that feels like a trip to the coast.

Preparing this dish is remarkably quick, making it ideal for a relaxed weekend meal or an elegant starter for a dinner party. The addition of a zingy, homemade lemon aioli provides a creamy contrast to the sharp wine and tomato flavours. Be sure to serve it with plenty of toasted country-style bread to soak up every last drop of the delicious broth.

Ingredients for Mussels With White Wine

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • 1 teaspoon (or more) fresh lemon juice

  • 60ml vegetable oil

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

How to make Mussels With White Wine

Whisk egg yolk, garlic, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, drizzle in vegetable oil, then olive oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until aioli is emulsified. Season with salt and more lemon juice, if desired. Cover; chill.

DO AHEAD: Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it begins to darken, about 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.

Add mussels and 120ml water to pot, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open (discard any that do not open), 10-12 minutes.

Ladle mussels and broth into shallow bowls and top with thyme; serve with bread and lemon aioli.
