Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold running water. Scrub the shells with a brush to remove any debris. Remove the beards by pulling them off firmly.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and shallots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until they are fragrant and translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and stir to combine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Cook Mussels

    Cover the pot and let the mussels steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  4. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat, squeeze the lemon juice over the mussels, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
