1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the green mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any dirt or barnacles. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Chop Ingredients
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Juice the lemon and set aside.

3
Heat the Sauce
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
4
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Mussels
Add the cleaned green mussels to the pot and stir to coat them in the garlic oil mixture.
6
Add Wine and Seasoning
Pour in the white wine, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid.
7
Cook the Mussels
Cook the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
8
Finish with Lemon and Parsley
Remove the pot from heat, squeeze the lemon juice over the mussels, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Stir gently to combine.
