Mussels

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot with fries.
