mosselen met appel en calvados

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg mussels
  • 200 gram unsalted butter
  • 50 ml calvados

  • 1 small apple diced
  • 2 el bladpeterselie mince
  • sea salt
  • milled white pepper
  • 1 baguette

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a pan and skim off the white foam so you get clarified butter
  • Pour the calvados into a mussel pan and add the mussels as soon as the liquor begins to steam
  • Cook the clams until all the shells are open. Shake the pan in between so that the heat is evenly distributed.
  • Allow the mussels to cool briefly, then remove them from the shells
  • Turn the heat low and stir everything well, then stir in the parsley
  • Divide the mussels among the jars and pour the clarified butter over them
  • Let them cool or refrigerate until the butter has come to room temperature
