1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Chop the Aromatics
Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Set aside.
3
Chop the Parsley
Rinse the parsley, remove the stems, and chop the leaves finely. Set aside.

4
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant.
5
Add the Wine
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
6
Cook the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover it, and increase the heat to high. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened.
7
Season and Garnish
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Discard any mussels that did not open.
