1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and finely chopped shallots, sauté until softened.
3
Add Wine
Pour in the white or red wine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
4
Cook Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, then cover with a lid. Steam the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up.
5
Finishing Touches
Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the remaining butter and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve
Serve the mussels in a bowl with the broth poured over them. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
