Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 lb mussels in shells
1/2 cup boiling water
Butter or margarine, melted, if desired

Steps:

  • Discard any broken-shell or open (dead) mussels. Scrub remaining mussels in cold water, removing any barnacles with a dull paring knife. Remove beards by giving them a tug (using a kitchen towel may help). If you have trouble removing them, use pliers to grip and pull gently.
  • Place mussels in large container. Cover with cool water. Agitate water with hand, then drain and discard water. Repeat several times until water runs clear; drain.
  • In steamer,* place half of the mussels and the boiling water. Cover and steam 3 to 5 minutes, removing mussels as they open. Discard any unopened mussels. Repeat with remaining mussels.
  • Serve hot mussels in shells with butter.

These mussels were a hit! The white wine and garlic sauce was flavorful and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
