Number Of Ingredients 4

20 to 24 mussels, scrubbed and debearded
25 to 30 freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the mussels in a medium skillet. Grind half of the pepper over mussels. Cover, and place over high heat. Cook until the mussels open, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If there is not enough liquid released from the mussels it may be necessary to add a few tablespoons of water to steam the mussels.
  • As soon as the mussels have opened, transfer to a serving bowl. Grind remaining pepper over mussels. Serve with lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

The mussels were delicious and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found that the recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the mussels for a shorter amount of time.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The mussels are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love serving this dish with a side of pasta or rice.

These mussels were absolutely delicious! The black pepper and garlic butter sauce was so flavorful and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the sauce and it was the perfect meal.
