Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh mussels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the mussels: Place them in a large bowl with cold water. Scrub them with a brush to remove any debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with a knife or your fingers. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
Step 2
In a large deep saucepan or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the shallots become translucent and fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Add the mussels to the pot, along with the butter, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid and cook on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
The mussels are done when they have opened up. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
Step 8
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve the mussels immediately in bowls, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing. Optionally, add a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
