Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any debris. Remove the beards (the fibrous strands) from the mussels and discard any that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the garlic and shallots. Roughly chop the parsley and set aside for garnishing later.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the chopped garlic and shallots to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook the Mussels

    Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 7

    Season

    Once the mussels are cooked, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the mussels and broth into bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread.
