Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add the mussels, wine, cream, butter, and parsley. Season well with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Mix well, cover pot with a lid and cook until mussels are cooked through and opened, about 12-15 minutes.
  4. Serve mussels along with the juices in the pan with crusty or garlic bread.

Notes

  • Tips: 
  • Unopened shells can be removed before serving.
  • Check your steamed mussels about 5-6 minutes into cooking, stirring to distribute the ingredients and then cover again to cook for a few more minutes. Once the mussels open they are ready to eat.
