Mussels in White Wine

Mussels in a white wine sauce is definitely my absolute favorite way to cook and eat mussels. It’s so easy and tastes oh so delicious. Here’s the recipe I used to cooked these mussels and it only took about 15 mins including prep time.

Ingredients:

2 cups white wine

4 large shallots, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt

2 pounds mussels

1/4 cup chopped parsley

6 tablespoons butter

Directions:

  1. Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water. Make sure to get rid of all the beard (strings) from them.
  2. In a large stockpot on medium heat, melt butter and simmer shallots until cooked (about 2-3 mins).
  3. Turn heat to high, add wine, garlic, and salt.
  4. Add the mussels and cook for about 5 minutes or until mussels are open. I would put a lid over the pot.
  5. Stir in the parsley and extra butter if desired. (Yes, on the extra butter :P) Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
