Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill or pan to medium-high heat.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add bacon, render until crisp.
Add 2 cloves of sliced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the mussels and wine. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and allow to cook until all of the mussels pop open, about 5-7 minutes.
Once mussels have opened, finish with whole grain mustard, shaved Brussels sprouts and parsley.
Meanwhile, drizzle pieces of baguette with olive oil and place on the grill. Cook until well charred. Remove from grill and lightly rub each piece with the raw garlic clove. Serve toasted bread with mussels.

Tips
- Use a truffle slicer to shave garlic cloves and Brussels sprouts.
- If raw mussels are open, tap the bottom of them. If they don't close, throw them out.
