This straightforward pan lets the shellfish speak, with garlic butter, parsley and lemon supporting rather than overpowering the mussels.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 10 min

Ingredients

• Fresh mussels – 2 kg
• Butter – 60 g
• Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
• White wine – 150 ml
• Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
• Black pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Sort and wash the mussels well.
STEP 2
Melt the butter in a large pot and cook the garlic very briefly so it smells fragrant but does not colour.

Pour in the wine, bring it to a boil and add the mussels. Cover and steam until opened.
STEP 4
Take the pot off the heat, stir in the parsley, lemon juice and black pepper and serve straight away.
