🇧🇪 Belgium recipe
Moules-Frites
The undisputed national dish of Belgium, moules-frites is the soul of Belgian cuisine. Plump, briny mussels are steamed open in a fragrant bath of dry white wine, shallots, celery, and garlic, releasing their juices into a deeply savory broth. Served alongside a towering cone of twice-fried Belgian frites with golden, shattering exteriors and fluffy interiors, this is Belgian comfort food at its finest.
