Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Fresh mussels
- 1 cup Dry white wine (gluten-free certified)
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Shallot, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Butter (certified gluten-free)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon, sliced into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Start by cleaning the mussels. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and scrub the shells, removing any debris or beards (the fibrous tuft attached to some mussels). Discard any mussels with broken shells or those that remain open after a gentle tap.
In a large, deep pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced shallot to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour in the white wine and gluten-free vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steam the mussels for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot gently every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The mussels are done when their shells have opened (discard any that remain closed).
Remove the mussels from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Stir the butter, salt, and pepper into the remaining broth in the pot until the butter is melted and the seasonings are well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the warm broth over the mussels in the serving bowl.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the mussels. Pair with gluten-free bread for dipping into the broth, if desired.
