Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

Mussels in Irish Ale requires roughly 45 minutes from start to finish. This recipe serves 4 and costs $1.32 per serving. One serving contains 286 calories, 11g of protein, and 20g of fat. 1 person were impressed by this recipe. It is perfect for st. patrick day. It works well as a budget friendly hor d'oeuvre. If you have onion, butter, pancetta, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. Not a lot of people really liked this European dish. It is brought to you by Foodista. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 49%. This score is solid. Try Mussels And Fennel In Ale, Belgian Ale-Braised Mussels, and Curried Mussels In White Ale for similar recipes.

Mussels works really well with Riesling, rosé Wine, and Muscadet. Muscadet is a classic pairing, but many crisp dry whites will work. If the mussels are cooked with tomatoes, opt for a rosé. If the mussels are on the spicy side, try Riesling. One wine you could try is Pro-Bono Riesling. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

Pro-Bono Riesling

Crisp entry with a balanced body; rounded with a brilliant acidity.

Instructions

  1. Discard any mussels that are open before cooking and any that stay closed after cooking.
  2. Place a large pot over a high heat and brown the pancetta pieces until just golden and sizzling. Add in a knob of butter, allow it to melt and then add the onion and garlic. Cook gently for three minutes until the onion is soft.
  3. Add in the cider and allow to bubble away for a few minutes so all the flavours mingle in together. Tumble in the mussels, cover with a lid and allow them to steam for about four minutes until they open, making sure to give the pot a good shake once or twice during the cooking time.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream and parsley and season with sea salt and ground black pepper.
  5. Serve with some crusty bread to mop up the liquid!
