MUSSEL SAUCES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan and saute the onion and pancetta over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the tomatoes, saffron, salt, pepper, white wine, and Pernod, if using, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay the fish in a 10-by-14-inch baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and mussels to the dish. Pour the sauce over the seafood and bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the fish and shrimp are cooked through and the mussels are open. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the pine nuts for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the butter to the skillet and throw in the onion, thyme and rosemary. Season with the salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 18 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, with a serrated knife, cut off the top rind of the round of Brie, discarding when done. Put the Brie in a small cast-iron skillet or casserole dish. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove the foil, top with the caramelized onions and return to the oven until the cheese has melted and there is slight color around the edges, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the pine nuts, parsley and oregano and serve with the carrot sticks.
