1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open, as they are no longer fresh.
2
Chop Aromatics
Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the fresh parsley, setting aside some for garnish.
3
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add Wine
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 2 minutes.
5
Cook Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover it with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
6
Season and Garnish
Season the mussels with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
