Steps:
- Heat broiler. Put olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and let sizzle for 30 seconds without browning.

After 2 minutes, give the mussels a stir, then replace lid and continue cooking until all mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.

MUSSELS IN WHITE WINE AND GARLIC
Be sure to buy live mussels. Any open mussels that do not close when you press their shells a few times are dead, and you should discard them.

Steps:
- Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
- Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
- If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
- Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
- Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
- Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

"SEETHED" MUSSELS WITH PARSLEY AND VINEGAR
While 17th-century English diners had never heard of the word "appetizer," they certainly understood the idea of foods served in several large courses for formal or court dinners. For modern diners, however, this lovely 17th-century mussel recipe makes a perfect first course. After months of eating a sea diet of dried peas, oats, and salt meats, the passengers on the Mayflower were delighted to find mussels when they first made landing on Cape Cod. They were abundant and easily gathered. This recipe is adapted from Thomas Dawson, _The Second Part of the Good Huswives_ Jewell, 1597.

Steps:
- Place mussels in cold water and scrub them clean. "Beard" them by taking off the tuft of fibers projecting from the shell (if there are any-many farm-raised mussels are "beardless"). Discard any mussels that are broken or do not close when touched.
- Place 1 cup of water and all ingredients except the mussels into a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the mussels and reduce the heat so that the mussels cook at a simmer. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, for 10 minutes or until all of the mussels have opened fully. Keep an eye on the mussels-if cooked too long, they can be chewy.
- To serve, pour the mussels and broth into bowls, setting another empty bowl on the table for discarded shells.
Tips:
- Buy the freshest mussels possible. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a scrubbing brush to remove any dirt or barnacles from the shells. Pull off the beards (the fibrous strands that protrude from the shells) and rinse the mussels well under cold water.
- Use a large pot for cooking the mussels. This will allow the mussels to steam evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
- Add a splash of white wine or beer to the pot. This will help to deglaze the pot and add flavor to the mussels.
- Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels are done cooking when they are just opaque and the shells have opened. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh. Serve them with a crusty bread for dipping in the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Mussels with parsley and garlic is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both healthy and affordable, give mussels with parsley and garlic a try. You won't be disappointed!
