1
Rinse the green mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Chop the garlic and parsley finely and set aside.

3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Add Mussels and Wine
Once the garlic is sautéed, add the rinsed green mussels to the pot along with the white wine. Stir to combine.
5
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the mussels steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
6
Finishing Touches
Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine flavors.

7
Serve the mussels immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
