Preparing the Mussels

1

Clean the Mussels

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

3

Add Liquids

Pour in the white wine and pastis, bringing to a simmer.

Cook Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
