Steps

3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer.
4. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
5. Stir in the chopped parsley and basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
