Mussels Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Clean the Mussels

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

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Wine and Mussels

   Pour the white wine into the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally until all mussels have opened.

4. 4

   Season and Serve

   Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
