    Savor the last bits of summer with friends over a bowl of Cilantro Beer Broth Mussels and a cold bottle of Stella Artois®. The beer not only pairs perfectly with the dish, but brings a depth of flavor to the mussels. Add a bit of fresh cilantro and chopped jalapeños for a tasty yet simple meal.

    With only a few more weeks of summer left, now is the time to cherish it. I absolutely love having small intimate gatherings with friends and family and enjoying a simple meal outside with a cold drink. It’s moments like these that I live for. My go to beer is Stella Artois and it’s truly a beer for all. It’s a premium beer that’s made with the finest ingredients and brewing heritage dating back more than 600 years. Their rich history is paired with the rich flavor in every bottle, and it shows.

    The Stella Artois® Solstice Lager is a new beer perfect for sun-filled summer days and warm evenings. The delicious, refreshing golden lager with subtle citrus notes and triple filtered for a smooth dry taste and a crisp finish, which adds a delicious finish to the mussels. Not only is it delicious in the broth, but also is the perfect pairing to sip on while enjoying the meal with friends and family. I grabbed all my fresh ingredients at my local Ralphs, and you can find Solstice Lager at your local supermarket or other locations.

    HOW TO CLEAN AND DEBEARD MUSSELS

    To clean the mussels, place them in a colander. Run cold water over them and gently clean off any debris. If using fresh mussels (not frozen) make sure that they are still alive and not open. If mussels are open, tap gently. If the mussel closes the shell, it is still alive, if it does not, it is dead and needs to be discarded.

    To debeard the mussels, grab the beard and pull towards the hinge of the shell to remove.

    HOW TO STEAM MUSSELS

    The first step to steaming a pot of mussels is to create the broth.

    1. Saute the sliced shallots and garlic in a bit of olive oil.
    2. Add the diced jalapeno.shallots and jalapenos cooking in skillet3. Pour in 1 12 ounce bottle of Stella Artois or Stella Artois Solstice Lager and a half cup of vegetable broth.
