1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or barnacles. Remove the beards (the fibrous clumps) from the mussels.
2
Chop the Aromatics
Finely chop the shallots and garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.

3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped shallots and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the shallots are translucent.
4
Add the Wine and Mussels
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, covering the pot with a lid.
5
Steam the Mussels
Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
6
Season and Garnish
Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley for freshness.
