Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub the 2 lb mussels and pull off any beards. Discard any that are open or cracked.

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add the mussels and the 1 cup white wine. Cover and steam until the mussels open, about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Discard any mussels that haven't opened. Serve immediately with the crusty bread for dipping.
