1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the fresh mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Prepare Aromatics
Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the fresh parsley, setting aside a small amount for garnish.

3
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and shallots, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
4
Add Wine and Mussels
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.
5
Season and Serve
Once the mussels are cooked, season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
