1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Cilantro and Garlic Sauce
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add white wine and bring to a simmer.
3
Add Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Stir in chopped cilantro and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4
Tomato Sauce Variation
For the tomato sauce version, after sautéing garlic in olive oil, add the crushed tomatoes instead of white wine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes before adding the mussels.
5
Serve
Remove from heat, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
