Mussels and Broth

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallots, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Once the mussels are opened, stir in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the broth.
