- 5 threads of saffron
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces pernod
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Zest from one lemon
Procedure:
Preheat 12” Gourmet Skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and shallots, sauté until translucent. Add smashed garlic, cabernet, and pernod; cook for 5 minutes.

Chef David’s Tip: Mussels will open when they’re done.
