Mussels

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells to remove any sand or debris. Remove beards if present.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until they are 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 cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Finish with Seasoning

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussels in a bowl with the cooking liquid and crusty bread on the side for dipping.
