Mussels Dijon

Ingredients: 1/2 cup bottled clam juice,1 tablespoon Dijon mustard,6 cloves of peeled garlic,1/2 cup heavy cream,2 doz mussels,1 tablespoon olive oil,1/4 cup sliced Spanish onion,1 cup white wine
Instructions:

1. Debeard and scrub the mussels.
2. Heat a large saute pan, place the oil in the pan, and saute the garlic and onions until soft. Deglaze the pan with the white wine over medium-high heat, add the mustard and stir to combine.
3. Place the mussels, cream, and clam juice in the pan. Cover with a second pan (inverted) to create a steamer. Lower the heat slightly and steam for 5 minutes. The mussels are done when the shells open and the mussels are firm.Heap the mussels in a large bowl and pour the broth over them.
4. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.This recipe yields 2 servings.Comments: The emphasis on gourmet cooking at the Vermont Inn is obvious.For a lighter version, skim milk may be used in place of the heavy cream.
