P.e.i. Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare 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 shallots, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Wine and Mussels

   Pour in the white wine, followed by the cleaned mussels. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open.

4. 4

   Garnish

   Once the mussels are cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley over them. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Prepare Crostini

   While the mussels are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread softened butter on each slice of baguette and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the steamed mussels in bowls with crostini on the side. Squeeze lemon wedges over mussels before eating.
