White Wine Garlic Mussels

A mouthwatering main dish of tender mussels in a flavorful white wine and garlic broth.

Steps

1. Rinse the mussels under cold water, discarding any with broken shells or that do not close when tapped. 2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. 4. Add the mussels to the pot and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed. 5. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. 6. Serve the mussels in bowls, along with some of the broth. Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.
