Method

Preparation of Mussels

Clean the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush to clean thoroughly. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

Cooking Instructions

Sauté Garlic

In a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and stir to coat them with the garlic and oil.

Incorporate Wine and Seasoning

Pour in the dry white wine and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Steam the Mussels

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

Finish with Lemon and Parsley

Remove the pot from heat. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the mussels and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

Serving

Serve

Transfer the mussels into a serving bowl and pour the broth from the pot over them. Serve immediately with crusty gluten-free bread or over gluten-free pasta, if desired.
