Mussels and Broth

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells 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 olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Seasoning

    Pour in the white wine, add salt and pepper to taste, and bring it to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the mussels and broth into bowls and serve with slices of baguette on the side.
