JesseEatzFresh mussels steamed in a fragrant, buttery white wine broth with garlic and fresh herbs. A classic, elegant dish that comes together in minutes.
In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Keep the heat moderate so the garlic infuses the butter without turning bitter.
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a simmer.
Add the scrubbed mussels to the pot. Cover tightly with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened.
Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
Remove from heat, stir in the fresh parsley, and serve immediately in large bowls with plenty of the broth.
