Steamed Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Prepare the garlic

   Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

3. 3

   Steam the mussels

   In a large pot, add the seafood butter and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

4. 4

   Toast the bread

   While the mussels are steaming, slice the rustic bread and grill it on a pan or barbecue until lightly toasted on both sides.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley. Serve the mussels in a large bowl with lemon wedges and grilled rustic bread on the side for dipping.
