Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels and stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Allow the mussels to steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened fully. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
