Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

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

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Seasonings

    Pour in the white wine, lemon juice, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussels in a bowl with the broth and garnish with additional oregano and lemon wedges if desired.
