Mussels in White Wine and Garlic Sauce

🔥 Instructions

  1. Clean the mussels: Rinse under cold water, scrub shells, and remove beards. Discard any that are open and don’t close when tapped.
  2. Make the sauce: In a large pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add wine and lemon juice: Stir and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Steam the mussels: Add mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5–7 minutes until they open. Discard any that remain closed.
  5. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
