Mussels Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells with a brush. Remove any beards and discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Sauté aromatics

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add wine and mussels

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the prepared mussels and cover the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

4. 4

   Finish and serve

   Remove from heat. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
