Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in white wine and broth, then add mussels. Stir gently and cover.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer for 5–7 minutes until mussels open. Discard any that stay closed.

    Divide mussels and broth between two bowls. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
