Method

For the Mussels

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

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Steam Mussels

Add the rinsed mussels to the pot, followed by the cider, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

4

Garnish

Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
