PEI Mussels Recipe

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

Sauté Aromatics

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

Add Wine and Mussels

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up.

Finish the Dish

Once the mussels are cooked, remove them from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve the mussels in a bowl with the broth.
