Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or sand. Remove any beards if present.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Herbs

    Pour in the white wine and add the chopped parsley, thyme, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that do not open.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the steamed mussels in a bowl with the broth and garnish with additional fresh herbs. Accompany with slices of roasted focaccia.
