Live Green Lipped Mussels Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Rinse the mussels with cold water. Scrub the mussels with a stiff brush and tear off any beards or such that cling to the shell. Discard any mussels that remain open after handling.
  • 2. Sauté some finely-chopped shallots or onion with olive oil in a sturdy sauce pan.
  • 3. Peel, smash and finely chop garlic and add to the mixture after it has softened and turned translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Add some white wine to the pan and allow the liquid to boil off some of the alcohol.
  • 5. Add the mussels to the bubbling mixture and cover.
  • 6. Shake the pan back and forth to distribute the mussels in the pan and cook them until the shells open completely, usually 5 to 7 minutes. Don’t overcook.
  • 7. Remove to a platter with a slotted spoon.
  • 8. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook to desired doneness. See Photo
  • 9. Serve the mussels in their shells, or remove them and serve separately with some of the cooking juice; with or without mushrooms.
  • Some good chewy bread, to dip in the cooking juice, a green salad and the rest of the bottle of dry white wine and you’re set. See Photo
