Mussels in a Creamy White Wine Garlic Sauce
Report
Mussels in a creamy white wine garlic sauce is such a quick dish, you almost won't believe that something so devastatingly delish is faster than takeout. Mussels, white wine, cream, lemon, and garlic are just about all it takes.

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until soft but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the pot and drop in the lemon, too.
- Raise the heat to high, scoop in the mussels, pour in the wine, and cover tightly. Steam the mussels until most of them open, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and add a few grinds of fresh black pepper.
- Let the sauce lazily burble until all the mussels are open, 2 to 3 minutes more. Toss the stubborn sons-of-bivalves that refuse to open.
- Crown the mussels with parsley. Serve alongside a basket of toasted bread and lemon wedges.
