Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Linguini

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shallot and Garlic

    Finely chop the shallot and garlic cloves. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Preserved Lemon

    Remove the pulp from the preserved lemon and finely chop the rind. Discard the pulp.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped shallot and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 6

    Add White Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels and chopped preserved lemon. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open.

  3. 7

    Toss Linguini

    Once the mussels are cooked, add the drained linguini to the skillet, tossing everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

  4. 8

    Prepare Breadcrumb Topping

    In a small skillet, toast the breadcrumbs over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
