Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat wine and garlic to a large skillet and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Add mussels to pan and cover.

Step 3

Cook, shaking pan frequently, for several minutes (1-5 mins, extra cooking time is to reduce the liquid), removing all mussels as they open to a plate. Do not overcook mussels.

Step 4

Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 5

Add lemon juice and butter to the juice in the pan, and cook until the liquid reduces by half, then pour through a fine mesh strainer.

Step 6

Return liquid to the pan and add the pepper flakes and parley and cooked mussels.

Step 7

Serve at once.

I made this for Good Friday dinner and the family loved this. I didn't strain the liquid and used champagne as I did not have white wind, but everything else as per recipe. It was a success! Even a non mussel eater tried these and really like them... So I guess this recipe can take claim it has converted some-one to the mussel side! :-) So easy and simple to make with great flavours. This recipe made our Good Friday dinner a winner!
