Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the fresh mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

    Add Mussels and Wine

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot along with the white wine. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Cover the pot with a lid and let the mussels steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have all opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Add Herbs and Season

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley, cilantro, and green chili. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mejillones en salsa verde hot, with some of the cooking broth poured over them. Enjoy with crusty bread!
