Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or sand. Remove the beards (the fibrous strands) from the mussels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Wine and Herbs

    Pour in the white wine, and add the chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  2. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve Hot

    Remove from heat and serve the mussels in bowls with the broth, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
