Muscle Beach Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Remove the beards by pulling them off.

2. 2

   Sauté Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook Mussels

   Add the rinsed mussels to the pot along with the white wine, butter, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

4. 4

   Make Garlic Bread

   While the mussels are cooking, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of the baguette.

5. 5

   Toast the Bread

   Place the prepared garlic bread under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the mussels are cooked, discard any that haven't opened. Serve the mussels in a bowl, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside the garlic bread.
