1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells and removing any beards. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until fragrant and the shallot is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add Wine and Mussels
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, then increase the heat to high. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels have opened.
4
Season and Serve
Once the mussels are cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately, with crusty bread if desired.
