1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add Wine and Mussels
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid.
4
Steam the Mussels
Steam the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
