Mussels and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards (the fibrous strands) if present.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Mussels and Wine

    Increase the heat to high, then add the prepared mussels and white wine to the pot. Cover the pot and let it steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Season and Garnish

    Once the mussels are cooked, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in chopped parsley for garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussels warm, with the garlic sauce spooned over them. Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
