Ingredients

• 2 kilos of mussels
• 400 g potatoes
• 5 sprigs of thyme
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 onion
• 1 tbsp butter
• 100 g mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chives
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 red pepper
• salty
• paprika powder

Preparation

The mussels

Preheat the sous vide appliance to 84°C (185°F). Peel two lemons and divide them, along with five sprigs of thyme, two cloves of garlic (we'll use the third for the mayonnaise), butter, and chopped onion, into two sous vide bags. Clean the mussels and remove any broken ones. Then add one kilo of mussels to each bag and vacuum seal. If this doesn't fit, you can, of course, divide the mussels among several bags.

Oven- baked fries

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Fill a pan with water and bring it to a boil with a pinch of salt. Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips (like French fries). Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes, then drain. Steam them dry. Spread them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Place the baking sheet with the potatoes in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Yarn from the mussels

Once the sous vide appliance has reached the desired temperature, place the bags of mussels in the sous vide container. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the mussels.

Spicy mayonnaise

Mix the mayonnaise with the chopped parsley, chives, red pepper, and garlic (crushed). Add a little lemon juice and salt to taste.

Serve

Remove the mussels from the sous vide bag and place them in a nice saucepan. Remove the fries from the oven and serve with our spicy mayonnaise. Complete the dish with a delicious craft beer.
