Ingredients

  1. 1.2 kg mussels, cleaned and debearded
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  5. 200 ml dry white wine
  6. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  7. 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  8. Lemon wedges, to serve
  9. Crusty bread, to serve

Method

  1. Clean and debeard the mussels, discarding any that remain open after a gentle tap.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add the mussels to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam for 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels open.
  5. Discard any mussels that remain closed. Stir in the butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.

Chef's Tip

The key to perfect mussels is cooking them quickly over high heat so they steam open while staying tender and juicy. Once the shells open, avoid continuing to cook them or they can become rubbery. Use a dry white wine with good acidity to balance the natural sweetness of the mussels, and finish with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the rich garlic and wine broth — often considered the best part of the dish. For the freshest flavour, cook the mussels as soon as possible after purchase and discard any shells that stay closed after cooking.
