I love eating mussels – just don’t like cleaning them! Mussels and beer – great combination!
Beer Steamed Mussels
Beer Steamed Mussels – DELICIOUS mussels cooked with beer and garlic herb. So good, MUCH cheaper than restaurants and ready in 10 mins
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 onion, finely diced
2 1/2 lbs – 3 lbs mussels, bearded and scrubbed
12 fluid oz beer
A bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt, to taste
Lemon or lime wedges
Method:
Heat up a deep skillet or a pot with the melted butter/olive oil on medium heat. Saute the garlic and onion until you start smelling the aroma, but not browned. Add the mussels into the skillet/pot and stir to combine with the garlic and onion. Pour in the beer and cover the skillet and pot, for a few minutes, or until the mussels are open and cooked. Stir in the chopped parsley and add salt to taste. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon or lime, if you like.

Cook’s Note:
The beer broth with the briny and sweet flavor of mussels is absolutely delicious. “Drink” the juice or sop up with garlic bread.

This was very delicious. I guess I threw out too many mussels but since it was my first time preparing these I didn’t want to get food poisoning right away
