Spicy mussels and fries in a marinière sauce

Recipe by Norbert Tarayre

Fresh mussels cooked in a marinière sauce, served with homemade fries lightly flavored with smoked sweet chili oil. A “calienté” version that combines the creaminess of Normandy cream, the heat of Espelette pepper, and the crunch of golden fries. Perfect for a convivial French-style meal.

Critical Success Points

  • Cleaning and checking the liveliness of the mussels (byssus).
  • Precise temperature control of the oil for frying.
  • Quick cooking of the mussels to avoid them becoming rubbery.

Safety Warnings

  • Oil at 180 °C can cause severe burns – handle with care and avoid splatters.
  • The steam from the mussels is very hot – keep the lid at a distance.
  • Shells that stay closed after cooking must be discarded (risk of poisoning).
