Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds mussels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mussels by scrubbing their shells under cold water and removing any beards found. Discard any mussels that are cracked or remain open after a light tap.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid browning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine and vegetable broth. Add black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using), then stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly, letting the flavors meld together.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, then cover with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the mussels to steam for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Check the mussels: they are done when the shells are fully open. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cooked mussels.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the mussels. Pair with crusty bread or a light salad, if desired.
