Mussels and Fries with Mustard Mayonnaise
Moules-frites is not as difficult as you’d suspect. The trick to making really great French fries at home is frying from frozen. This allows them to crisp up on the outside just enough and reheat the interior. Then dinner can be like a night at your favorite bistro, even if you’re home.

Cooking time:
- 30 MIN
Ingredients
- 1 (15- to 16-ounce) package frozen french fries
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves, forced through a press
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2lb mussels
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
How to cook
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 2–3 minutes. Add onion, fennel, 5 garlic cloves, and 3 Tbsp. oil and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened but not browned, 8–10 minutes. Add tomatoes, red pepper, and ¾ tsp. salt and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes longer.
Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, just to burn off some of the alcohol, 1–2 minutes. Add mussels and beans and stir once or twice to incorporate. Cover pot and steam until all mussels are open, 3–5 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Stir in cilantro. Cut 1 lemon in half and squeeze in 1 Tbsp. lemon juice.
Meanwhile, working in batches, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add bread and cook until golden brown and crisp on one side, about 2 minutes. Transfer toast to a medium bowl. Rub cooked sides of toast with remaining garlic clove; season with remaining ¼ tsp. salt.
Spoon mussel mixture and broth over toasts. Cut remaining lemon into wedges and serve alongside.
