Mussels

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Prepare Aromatics

    Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the fresh parsley, setting aside a small amount for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
