Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Remove any beards (the fibrous bits sticking out of the shells). 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, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 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, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

4. 4

   Season and Serve

   Once the mussels are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
