1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the fresh mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris or barnacles. Remove the beards (the fibrous threads) by pulling them out with your fingers.
2
Prepare the Cooking Base
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

3
Add the Wine
Pour the white wine into the pot and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
4
Cook the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until all the mussels have opened.
5
Season and Serve
Once the mussels are cooked, add chopped parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine and serve hot.
