Mussels

Grilled Bread

Method

Mussels Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (from the 4 cloves) and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, then cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Season and Finish

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper, and remove from heat.

Grilled Bread Preparation

  1. 5

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the baguette or crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 6

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.

  3. 7

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.
