Sexy and slippery, mussels are the quintessential cooking for cock dish. Easy, affordable yet decidedly “gourmet,” this dish makes culinary courtship easy.  Moules frites (that’s mussels and fries in French) are a great  choice for a first date dinner chez toi.  (Just check and make sure your guy likes seafood, and if he doesn’t, consider dumping him. Real men eat seafood.)

 

 

Ingredients

 

1 bag of mussels, rinsed
1 small leek chopped, or 1/2 a big one (you can also use half cup chopped onion or shallots)
1 medium-large sized tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 bag of frozen French fries (my cock likes Julienne, but other cocks I know swear by crinkle cut.)

 

Directions

 

1. Pre-heat the oven for French fries, follow the package instructions for temperature and times. You may need to cook them longer than the bag instructions (I’ve had to do this each time) to get them crispy enough to soak in the moules juice. As the fries cook, enjoy wine and chit chat with the cock.
2. Five minutes before the fries are ready, start the mussels.
3. In a medium large pot heat the oil and butter. Add the leeks. Cook three minutes. Add the tomatoes, cook another minute.
4. Add the two cups white wine, bring to a boil, then add the mussels. Cover put and cook for five minutes or until mussels shells have all opened up.
5. Serve in bowls, sprinkled with parsley, with a large plate of fries in the middle for you to share. Place another large empty bowl on the table to discard the used mussel shells after eating.

Afterwards, I serve a Simple Mixed Green Salad with a homemade balsamic vinegraite. Fresh and healthy.

 

When that’s done, sip wine and stare into each other eyes. Trust me, it’s all the dessert you’ll need.
