Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 7

    Remove the beards from the mussels and ensure they are all closed, discarding any that remain open after being tapped.

  2. STEP 2 OF 7

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

  3. STEP 3 OF 7

    Add the sliced carrot to the sauté and cook for a couple of minutes.

  4. STEP 4 OF 7

    Add the mussels to the pot, stirring gently. Cover the pot with a lid and let cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the mussels to start opening.

  5. STEP 5 OF 7

    Once the mussels have opened, add the Gueuze beer, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir gently and cover the pot. Let cook for 5-7 minutes, until all the mussels are fully open.

  6. STEP 6 OF 7

    Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  7. STEP 7 OF 7

    Remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the mussels with some of their broth and accompanied by slices of crusty bread.
