Mussels in White Wine
The easiest recipe for mussels in white wine sauce. This seafood appetizer is made in one pot, has a quick cooking time and requires only 6 ingredients!
Servings: 2
Calories: 298
Ingredients
- 2 pounds mussels , see note 1 (900 grams)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil , see note 2
- 1 onion , small, minced (about ½ cup minced)
- 4 garlic cloves minced or pressed
- 1.5 cups white wine
- flat leaf parsley , fresh, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
Instructions
- Check all the mussels: Discard any broken ones and tap any open mussels against a hard surface. If they don’t close, discard those too. With a scrubbing sponge, scrub any dirt, stains off of the remaining mussels. Remove their beards, if you see any (simply pull them off you’re your fingers). Rinse them under water and set aside.
- In a 4-quart (4-liter) Dutch oven, saute minced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir for about a minute or until the garlic releases its aroma. Pour in wine and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add parsley and cleaned mussels and cover with a lid. Steam for about 4-5 minutes (for fresh mussels) or 2-3 (for pre-cooked) or until most of them are open.
- Best served with crusty bread or garlic baguette!
Notes
- Use either fresh or pre-cooked mussels. Fresh take about 4-5 minutes to steam, pre-cooked about 2-3 minutes to reheat.
- This recipe has only a few ingredients so I recommend using olive oil. Either extra virgin or regular cooking olive oil will work.
- If you buy cleaned mussels, the prep time will reduce to 5 minutes.
