Moules-frites

Moules-frites is a meal of mussels and chips, listed among the culinary specialities of Brussels. In a white-wine preparation, the mussels cook in a covered pot with onion, celery and herbs. The pot is shaken during cooking to distribute the contents, and parsley is added before serving.^[1][2]

The chips are cooked separately: they can be fried once, cooled, then fried again until golden and crisp. A dipping sauce can combine mayonnaise, mustard, wine vinegar and chives. The mussel preparation also varies; a cream version adds cream to the white wine and vegetables before the mussels are cooked.^[2][3]
