FANCY FRENCH FOOD FAST 🔥⚡️💋
One of my favorite French dishes – and one of the first things I learned to make in cooking school – comes together in a flash and feels so fancy – but it’s secretly so simple.
Moules et frites. Mind blowing my simple and delish.
Except we’re swapping out potatoes for butternut squash zigzags from @traderjoes and crisping them up with garlic and parsley in the air fryer. Since I couldn’t decide on one sauce, we’re making two. Simple enough where you can do both at the same time.
Chef tip: clean the mussels very well and steam or boil them first to get rid of any debris or fishiness then once they’re opened – which only takes about 3 minutes, pop them into the sauce. From start to finish, you’re in it for about 15 minutes. Quick gourmet is tres fantastique! And mussels are full of protein – about 20g per 3 oz of mussels. 💪🏾💪🏾
