Mussels with White Wine and Garlic
These Mussels with White Wine and Garlic are a flavorful way to enjoy mussels! Served with charred bread to soak up the delicious broth.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs mussels
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups crisp white wine
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- Grilled ciabatta slices, for serving (see note)
Instructions
- Rinse and scrub mussels under cold water. If mussels still have their beards attached, pinch and remove. Any mussles that don't close when lightly tap, discard.
- Add oil and butter to a large stockpot. Heat over medium heat, and add garlic and shallot, sauteeing until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add white wine, followed by mussels. Sprinkle in half of the parsley, reserving the remainder for garnish.
- Cover pot, and steam for about 5 minutes, until all mussels have opened. Remove from heat and transfer to serving dish, or feel free to serve straight from the stockpot! Sprinkle with parsley before serving, and serve with grilled ciabatta for mopping up the cooking liquid!
Notes
For Grilled Ciabatta:
Brush slices of ciabatta bread with olive oil. Grill over medium heat until slightly charred, but still pliable. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
