Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic finely chopped, cloves
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves and stems chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 3 pounds mussels scrubbed and debearded
- Two bottles Heineken beer warm
- 10 basil torn, leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano optional, dried
- 1/2 lemon cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic just begins to brown at the edges, maybe 2 minutes. Add the butter, parsley, salt, and mussels and heat until the butter melts. Add the Heineken, cover, and let everything simmer until the mussels open, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that don't open.
- Pile the mussels back into the pot or on a large rimmed platter, strew with some basil and oregano, if desired, and serve with a heaping pile of lemon wedges for squeezing. And napkins. Don't forget the napkins.
Notes
- Crab Legs In Beer
- You could also easily substitute crab legs for an equally delicious dish.
