Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells with a brush. Remove any beards and discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté until they are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Add Wine and Lemon Juice

Pour in the white wine and fresh lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

4

Steam the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened.

5

Finish the Dish

Remove the pot from heat. Drizzle caper oil over the mussels and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Serve

Serve the mussels immediately with the broth, and enjoy with crusty bread.
