1recipe for Baked French Fries - http://www.gourmethousewife.com/2012/06/baked-french-fries/
1kgfresh musselssee note below
3green onionssliced
1shallotpeeled, halved, sliced into half moons
1carrotpeeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
2garlic cloveschopped
1jalapeñoseeded and minced
1large bunch fresh thymethick stalks discarded
handful fresh parsleycoarsely chopped
6tbspolive oil
2/3cupdry white wine
Instructions
Follow instructions for preparing baked french fries and start them baking.
Place the mussels in a sink full of cold water. Discard any that remain open when tapped, then drain well and pull away any beards.
Place a large pan on the stove and heat at high. Pour in the oil, then immediately toss in all of the vegetables, jalapeño and thyme. The thyme sprigs will crackle if the pan is hot enough. Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes, shaking the pan and stirring the vegetables until they start to soften.
With the heat still on high, toss in all the mussels and shake the pan so that they form an even layer. Cover with a lid and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
Remove the lid and pour in the wine. Shake and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes, until the wine reduces by half, then cover again and cook for another minute.
Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve immediately with baked french fries.
Notes
According to Gordon Ramsay: "Mussels should feel heavy for their size. Any that feel suspiciously light or sound hollow should be thrown out. Choose the smallest mussels you can find, as these will have the sweetest flavor and softest texture."
