Mussels with White Wine & Garlic Sauce

 

Serves 4 as a starter or 2 as a main

​

Ingredients

1kg fresh mussels 

3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

4 tbsp olive oil 

50ml dry white wine

50g chopped parsley 

Half a lemon

​

Method

​

1. Under running water, clean the mussels by removing their                                                              beards and scrubbing the shells.

2. Place a deep pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil and                                                                 the garlic. Cook until fragrant, around 2 minutes. 

3. Add the mussels and the white wine. Cover with a lid and cook until the majority of the mussels open up. 

4. Add the parsley and squeeze the lemon. Stir everything quickly and place into a serving bowl. Sprinkle some fresh parley on top for decoration.

​

Note: You can chop the garlic up for a more intense flavour. Coriander can also be used instead of parsley.

Also great as a main dish with a side of chips.
