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.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dry white wine
4 large shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 pounds live mussels
1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, chervil, or basil, chopped
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water. Using your fingers or a paring knife, remove beards (strings that hang from the mussels' shells), and discard.
  • In a large stockpot set over medium heat, combine wine, shallots, garlic, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add mussels.
  • Cover, and increase heat to high. Cook until all mussels are open, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs and butter. Remove from heat. Divide mussels and broth among four bowls. Serve immediately.

The mussels were a bit sandy, but the sauce was delicious.

This was my first time cooking mussels, and I was really pleased with the results. The recipe was easy to follow, and the mussels turned out great. I will definitely be making this dish again.

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 amazing. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all that delicious sauce.

These mussels were absolutely delicious! The white wine and garlic sauce was so flavorful, and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.
