Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh mussels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or seafood stock
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and scrub the mussels under cold water, removing any grit or beards. Discard any mussels that are cracked or do not close when tapped.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot or skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to bubble.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the dry white wine and chicken or seafood stock, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the mussels immediately in their broth, accompanied by slices of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful liquid.
