Tips:
- Use fresh mussels: Fresh mussels are plump and have a briny smell. Avoid mussels that are cracked or have open shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pull off the beards (the stringy part that comes out of the shell) and discard them.
- Cook the mussels in a flavorful broth: The broth is what gives the mussels their flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a variety of ingredients to make the broth, such as white wine, garlic, shallots, and herbs.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and chewy.
- Serve the mussels with crusty bread or pasta: Mussels are delicious served with crusty bread or pasta. The bread or pasta can be used to soak up the delicious broth.
