Ingredients

4 servings

4 lbs fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
3 tbsp garlic-infused oil
6 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
1 bottle (12 oz) gluten free beer (blonde ale or witbier style)
½ cup chicken broth
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
gluten free bread or baguette, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

1
Discard any mussels with cracked shells or any that remain open after a firm tap on the counter. Place the cleaned mussels in a large bowl of cold water while you prepare the broth.
2
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large (6-quart or larger) pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion greens and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
