Steamed Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

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

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Wine and Mussels

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

4. 4

   Finish and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Discard any mussels that have not opened. Stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
