1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the green mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3
Chop the Parsley
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

4
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
5
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Add the Mussels
Place the cleaned green mussels in the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic butter.
7
Add White Wine
Pour the white wine into the skillet, cover it with a lid, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.
8
Season and Serve
Once the mussels are open, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
