Step 1
Scrub the 2 lb mussels and pull off any beards. Discard any that are open or cracked.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 sliced chili pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour in the 1 cup white wine and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover, and steam until they open, about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot once.
Step 4
Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the mussels. Discard any that haven't opened. Serve immediately with the broth.
Step 5
Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.
