Black Musselsoup Ala Durbanville Recipe

Black Musselsoup ala Durbanville

From heinoos 16 years ago

This dish takes the normal black mussel and transform in into a lovely soup with an attractive texture and a superb taste.

Place mussels and water in pan, cover and cook until mussels open
(if one uses halfshell mussels, skip this step)
Take out of pot and put aside. Retain 250ml of the "mussel" water.
Take mussels out of shells, and mince the meat. Throw away the "stringy' bits
You can also keep a few whole for more texture
Heat the butter in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic for a few minutes.
Take off the heat, and mix with the flour and then the "mussel" water, fish stock and wine.
Stir over medium heat until soup thickens.
Add parsley and bay leaf en add pepper and nutmeg to taste.
Add salt if necessary (Mussels have enough salt)
Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Add mussels and cream and heat without boiling.
Enjoy
