Instructions

For tips on cleaning mussels see cleaning mussels in our how to section.
Pour a liberal splash of oil into a hot pot or wok.
Add the mussels and toss around.
When the first one starts to open add the garlic & chilli.
Continue moving so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Once all but a few are open, a lap around the pan with the wine & pepper mill (leaving heat on high to evaporate alcohol).
Squeeze lemons in and toss parsley through.
Remove any unopened mussels, drop anchor and serve immediately.
