Mussels

Steaming Liquid

Method

Preparation

1

Clean the Mussels

Under cold running water, scrub the mussels with a brush to remove any dirt or sand. Remove the beards by pulling them away from the shell. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2

Chop Aromatics

Finely chop the shallots and parsley, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

3

Heat the Steaming Liquid

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add Wine and Seasoning

Pour in the dry white wine and add the salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, letting the alcohol cook off for about 2-3 minutes.

5

Steam the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until all mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

6

Garnish and Serve

Once the mussels are cooked, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or over pasta, if desired.
