1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Melt the Butter
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Make sure it doesn’t burn.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
4
Add Broth and Mussels
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once the mussels are cooked, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
