Instructions
- Discard mussels with broken or opened shells, wash the rest in cold running water and if necessary, remove the beards attached to the shells.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Chop onion and garlic and add to the pot. Sauteé until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add white wine or vegetable broth, a pinch of cayenne, salt and black pepper. Add mussels to the pot and cover with a lid. Cook for 5-6 minutes, shaking the covered pot occasionally. They are ready once they all open. Discard any closed mussels. Transfer mussels to a serving bowl and garnish with minced parsley. Serve at once with lemon wedges, fresh ciabatta and white wine if desired.
Notes
- Eat them with your hands. To extract a mussel from is shell, take an empty shell in your working hand and use it as forceps.
- Soak up the sauce with ciabatta bread and use the rest for other dishes (e.g. soups, risotto, pasta).
