Mussels Provencal (Steamed Mussels in a White Wine Sauce)

[SilenceDuReves]

Chef Jean Pierre, you are amazing! So passionate and wonderful!

[honkyschlonk]

the way he says onion is so goddamn boss

[IndianPrince04]

He's so annoying. Makes you wanna shove his head into the fire.

[nintendoandsega1990]

Everyone should love that guy! LOL!

[kenzfenz]

lol best chef ever! great video

[rdelper91133]

Where can I find the exact recipe???

[tractorkid223]

this guy funny !!!

[carpii]

Aww, thats a shame. Still, you'll remember for next time :D

I burnt my butter sauce for scallops tonight, but next time I hope to get it right

[carpii]

haha, this guy is quite a character.

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

Wait... are the mussels in my fridge alive then?

[carpii]

@SebbeSucksBawlz if you bought them fresh from a fishmonger, then yeah they should be alive. But a lot of commercial mussels (the sort which are vacuum sealed), have been frozen and thawed during transit, so those ones aren't alive

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

@carpii It's actually quite funny how I saw your reply just as I'd got back from shopping and was checking for dead mussels in the bag I bought lol.

[carpii]

@SebbeSucksBawlz hehe, hope you enjoy! I just finished eating mine an hour ago :-D

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

@carpii I realised at the last minute when they were going in that I didn't have any white wine, so they actually weren't as good as I was hoping lol.

[jhiller21]

I love mussels. I cook something really similar to this and it's fucking amazing. Don't forget to pour the sauce over the mussels though, and soak it up with crusty bread.

[CoalClear]

"....you want them to be alive..."

Creepy

[steph2226]

can i use frozen mussels?

[SurfGreenStrato]

@steph2226 You can, but mussels (or mossels as we say in Dutch) are best when fresh. If you only get to taste the frozen ones your kind of missing how a mussel really tastes like.

[169Phoenix]

@steph2226 ofcos u can but it wont be as tasty as the fresh ones

[deisemke]

so good

[dragonbut]

He has great energy

[deathblow101ify]

why does he sound mexican?

[iwanttoviewthisnow]

LOL< Awesome! I love mussels too......YUM! You are entertaining too. You made me laugh with the bit about the sleeping mussels. Good tutorial, thank you!

[imalive19]

I'd love to eat something like this but only seeing those mussels alive I just can't bring myself to kill them.. I wouldn't want to be cooked alive either...

[DoomDevil]

Chef Jean!!! YOU ARE SOOO FAKE!!! AND YOU SOUND SO DISGUSTING!!!

[bravo24601]

@DoomDevil stfu faggot

[Alexgt20]

WAKE UP! IM GOING TO KEEEEEEEEEEEEL YOUUUUUUU!

He doesn't sound genuinely French.

[madrom]

Oh boy.... Im making his recipe just cause he is waayyyyy too funny!



[BrunoAlbouze]

Chef JP, You are so fun!

[aesop2020]

[TheLoyalOfficer]

I've made it 3 times! AWESOME

And the bisque - pour a pint of heavy cream in the remaining sauce - fantastic!

[pmfredette]

I've made this recipe twice before - it's awesome. Simple, but elegant. The video is so damned funny, too!!!

[pinkrhythm04]

[MrSexxxy20]

[laganaerata]

[MrSexxxy20]

@laganaerata Wanna try that again buddy? It's FAGOT one G one T that's all. Maybe you should have grabbed a dictionary or right clicked OVER the word to see if you spelled it correctly. You dumb FUCK!

[Creeeeestal]

"...that means she's sleeping- she or he I don't know." Too cute!

[TheTwistedKIM]

What a great chef.......funny as hell.

[pamaki1978]

what a looser

[conquistadorsREPBLC]

1 min into the video. subscribed.

[olliethc1]

Legend!!!!!

[TheLoyalOfficer]

I just had this recipe this past weekend. Another awesome thing: stick bread in the extra sauce and sop it up! Mmmmmmmm

[Joyl3ss]

How is it with wines and cooking? i get that u go for a dry one but does a expensive wine give a better result than a semi good?

[aragorn123sg]

@Joyl3ss Nope. Price ain't got nothing to do with the quality of wine. Its a personal preference.

[bigglego]

@Joyl3ss A dry wine is important when steaming mussels. You don't need to use very expensive wine but don't use super cheap plonk either. You don't need to use much wine or you won't taste the mussel juices in the broth, which is perfect with some nice crusty bread.

[joanneyoon]

He reminds me of the candle "Lumiere" from Disney's Beauty and the Beast

[joanneyoon]

What a funny chef! Love his attitude <3

[TheLoyalOfficer]

My main concern is: how do you make sure than all of the tomatoes and onions and whatnot get INTO the mussels when he cooks them for only about 1 minute? Does the steam really carry the flavor that fast and deeply?

[IcyPhoenixOfMist]

@TheLoyalOfficer

no actually, you should let them cook for around 10 minutes... Mussels also take more than one minute to open up... ;-)

[TheLoyalOfficer]

@IcyPhoenixOfMist Oh - it does not seem that way in the video. Did I miss something?

[IcyPhoenixOfMist]

@TheLoyalOfficer

maybe he doesn't cook them that long; but you actually should... just to make sure... ;-)

and then btw, you maybe have to use a little bit more wine ... ;-)

those Mussels, which are still closed then, you have to throw away ;-)

[bigglego]

@IcyPhoenixOfMist I have to admit I do cook mine for a little longer than he does.

[bigglego]

@IcyPhoenixOfMist No way man, two to three minutes I say

[IcyPhoenixOfMist]

@bigglego

that wouldn't be enough, I'm afraid...

I got tought from a french guy, you should cook them for like 10 minutes, to be sure

and I asked a friend of mine two weeks ago, which is a professionnal cook, and he also said the same ;-)

[UCLASeraph]

@IcyPhoenixOfMist depends on the heat, but if your liquid is steaming (probably over 170 180 F) it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. anything more is overkill.

[UCLASeraph]

@UCLASeraph srsly, cook them fast, save the broth and make sauces out of it.

[IcyPhoenixOfMist]

@UCLASeraph

ok, guess they like to let them cook at a lesser high temperature... (don't know well the F I prefer the C ;-) )

[szilike08]

onyin

[MJDiscography]

Who the hell is he teaching??? Children??? LOL!!! but not bad...

[dinozavara]

[kintatzu333]

ONYUWN haha funny guy

[solomonchernishov]

sleepa da mouth open..haha

[ashleyhinchcliffe]

"Onyoh" - Onion hahaha

[tamick21]

did he use any kind of oils? or just the sweat from the onions?

[noizenconfusion]

@tamick21 - EVOO....thats the first thing that went in there before the onions....

[washmeera22]

yeh he did forget about the tomatoes. lol

[aimkoj]

i like this guy...gotta watch his videos more...

[maryfletcherjones]

I made these for dinner and they were terrific! And about 160 calories, fantastic :)

[LouCypherEmcee]

cant u get sick if u dont steam well good and put vineger on them and rinse

[tamick21]

@LouCypherEmcee Yes you can so make sure you scrub all the mussels with warm water.

[slingnanay]

Oh, I forgot to get tomatoes!!! uggg.. I hope it still turns ok..

[maryfletcherjones]

@slingnanay I made them w/o tomatoes and i thought they were great :)

[GmanZombie]

I followed this exactly they turned out great! Thanks JeanPierre!

[mieKeLien1991]

When i think of mussels, i remember myself back when i was in Pouldu Bretagne.

I ate mussels with white wine sauce in a very small casserole.

It was so delicious. I think the white wine sauce was a Beurre Blanc sauce.

But I am not sure

By the way sorry for my english

[melnatsim]

This is so funny.....well now I know how to make mussels

[markylon]

I love how the accent starts French and becomes American

[WeAreSoScrewed]

I tried this last night and it was amazing! Great recipe, hilarious chef!

[fezan84]

lmao, poor mussel lady

[mickytovar]

funny guy!

[olliethc]

Im defo trying this, they look handsome.. Man that chef is mad as a hatter but u gotta love him, good work mr Pierre!

[naho001]

[HigherPlanes]

This guy is hilarious. Great recipe

[SummerII]

I love this recipe. "wake up!!"

[miamiwax]

OniOn

[PresidentOfMyself]

If I was the muscle that was getting hammered while peacefully sleeping, I would have jumped out of my shell and whopped his ass :p nice recipe though.

[snowexpress01]

this is such a awesome dish! Just tried it out for lunch today for first time. Can really taste a big difference in the broth when you use a good dry white wine that u like.

[goaheadenvyme]

they really only take about three minutes to cook fully? wouldnt some of them still be alive?

[kersh4w]

steam = 212 degrees. it kills small organisms pretty quickly.

[mj575]

nice cooking, very entertaining...sounds delicious...what white wine you usually use?

[jdy313]

don't you just love the way he says "Au-ni-aun"

[rmjayna]

lol looks good .........from v.j.

[rhinseout]

Best accent ever- horny Frenchman mates an American talk show whore.

[siusiu143]

i tried this, it's very easy to make and taste very good...thanks!

[johnnyjolijt]

Jerry Lewis as a french chef?

[SROMasterful]

haha

[wlmmn]

Did anyone see "Raul's Wild Kingdom" from Weird Al's movie "UHF"? Well, if Raul had a French cousin, THIS would be him.

[KositaQ]

Love him!! although somethimes he reminds me of the swedish chef from the muppet show XD (hi deere, holi macaroli!!,...sleeping with mouth open - wake up, wake up!) XD

But he is SOOOOO GOOD! Makes cooking so easy - he is very talented and I do have much respect for what he does when he cooks - just livin' la vida loca!! no measurements, no complications, just have fun inthe kitchen and loving yourself ;D

Oh yea!

[RYANNCONNER]

listen to the way he says "onion" he's not french he's a coon-ass from lousiana.

i guaruntee wooo-weee

[GoldDraconian]

Actually that's the only way I've ever heard a native French speaker pronounce "onion" (at least in French), but I suppose I listen to mostly Québecois rather than people from France. How do you think a "proper" Frenchman says it?

[josmith4]

who cares whether he's from Louisiana, Canada or France - he's a fantastic entertainer and an excellent chef. I'm off to the supermarket to buy fresh mussels - I love them but have never cooked them before.

[RykkerNighteyes]

awesome video. i want to make them now!

[tena86]

wowowo you are the best

[john656656]

arrrniooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[afnaneto0o]

[Stapler78]

He might try to wake you by tapping your head a bit though!

[avalinmathew]

[graff4life2k8]

[GmanZombie]

@graff4life2k8 Not all of them look cooked but are...

[Valandil1979]

Lovely! We greeks love mussels, u should try some ouzo or tsipouro with this dish! It's a great meze! :D

[jcraiggreen]

AHHH!! I loved it! What kind of cream should I use to make the bisque?????? Should I add anything else?

[bamboodlesh]

[Timster845]

[tomsega]

Those mussels are huge!

I remember ordering mussels in Cyprus and getting about 6 massive ones.. whereas with the Scottish mussels in the UK, you need a few dozen for a good meal.

Still. It's all about the sauce.
