Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Fresh mussels
- 1 cup White wine or beer
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub their shells to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any mussels that are cracked or do not close when tapped.
In a large pot or deep skillet with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the white wine or beer and bring to a simmer.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, spreading them out evenly. Cover with the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Remove the pot from heat and give everything a gentle stir to coat the mussels in the flavorful broth.
Serve the mussels immediately in shallow bowls with the cooking liquid spooned over the top. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the broth if desired.
