Ingredients

  1. 1.5 kg mussels, cleaned and debearded
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  5. 200 ml white wine (or seafood stock)
  6. 20g unsalted butter
  7. 250 ml thickened cream
  8. Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  9. 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  10. Lemon wedges, to serve
  11. 800g – 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into chips
  12. 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil (for the chips)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced) and line two large baking trays with baking paper. Toss the potato chips with the vegetable oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them between the trays in a single layer. Roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
  2. Clean and debeard the mussels, discarding any that remain open after a gentle tap.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until softened and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover with a lid, and steam for 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels open. Discard any that remain closed.
  5. Remove the mussels from the pan and set aside, keeping them warm. Leave the liquid in the pan.
  6. Add butter and cream to the pan, stirring well to combine with the cooking liquid. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Return the mussels to the pan, tossing gently to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce.
  8. Serve the mussels hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside crispy cooked chips.

Chef's Tip

Great Creamy Garlic Mussels are all about richness and balance — plump, briny mussels bathed in a silky garlic cream sauce that’s both indulgent and aromatic. Cook the mussels just until they open to keep them tender, then let the sauce reduce slightly for depth, creating the perfect consistency for dipping crispy chips, just like a classic bistro-style dish.
