Garlic Herb Steamed Mussels

How to make it

1. 1

   Before you begin, make sure your mussels are clean. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for just 1 minute until it's fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to let it burn.

3. 3

   Now, add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Pour in the dry white wine. You can add a splash of water if you prefer less wine.

4. 4

   Cover the pot tightly with a lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Steam for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until all the mussels have opened. Remember to discard any mussels that did not open during cooking.

5. 5

   Stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Serve your delicious mussels immediately in bowls with plenty of that wonderful broth. Enjoy, perhaps with some crusty bread for dipping!
