1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Tomatoes and Wine
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the chardonnay and stir to combine.
4
Steam the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
5
Finish and Serve
Stir in the fresh basil leaves, salt, and black pepper. Serve the garlic mussels hot with some of the broth and crusty bread on the side.
