Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mussels in dor blue sauce? Very quickly and so simply that even a novice cook can handle it. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list.

2. STEP 2

   

   If your mussels are fresh, just rinse them thoroughly. You don’t have to defrost frozen mussels. If you find an open one among the mussels, it means it’s spoiled. It needs to be thrown away. I first scalded the mussels with boiling water to immediately determine which ones were spoiled. In boiling water, the mussels immediately open. And here it’s the other way around - mussels that did not open when scalded need to be thrown away.

3. STEP 3

   

   Crumble the blue cheese with your hands. There are different types of blue cheese - Dor Blue, Gorgonzola, etc. Take whichever you like best. With gorgonzola, the sauce will taste sharper.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic cloves and crush them with the flat side of a knife.

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop. In addition to parsley and dill, you can add cilantro - it will add a spicy aroma and taste to the finished dish.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed garlic cloves and heat for 2 minutes. Next, you can remove the garlic from the pan. I left.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the mussels. Pour in the wine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over high heat for 2 minutes. The mussels should open. Unopened mussels should also be thrown away - they are spoiled. Mussels and wine are a classic of the genre. But if you don’t want alcohol in the sauce, then instead of wine you can pour in a double portion of vegetable or fish broth and boil the mussels in it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in vegetable or fish broth and cream. You can use cream of any fat content, but the best option is cream with a fat content of 20-23%, they are just suitable for sauces.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add crumbled blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly. Simmer everything together for 2 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the mussels with the chopped herbs and stir gently, being careful not to let the body of the mussels pull away from the shells. Serve immediately with white wine. Bon appetit!
