1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Make the Sauce
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3
Add Wine and Spices
Pour in the white wine and add the red chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Cook the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
5
Finish and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping in the sauce.
