Moules marinières

Mussels cooked in a fragrant white-wine broth with aromatics.

Say it: mool mah-ree-nee-AIR (approximate English pronunciation)

Moules marinières brings mussels and their cooking juices together with white wine and aromatics such as onions or shallots. The broth is part of the experience, often enjoyed with bread or an accompanying side. Cream, curry and other flavored mussel preparations are different interpretations, so read the sauce description rather than relying on the word moules alone.
