Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs (750g) mussels
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parley Italian parsley preferred

Instructions

  • Scrub and clean the mussels and remove the beards on the mussels by pulling them off. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Add the olive oil. Saute the garlic a few times before adding the mussels. Stir and toss the mussels. Add the white wine and diced tomato. Cover the skillet with its lid and steam for 1 minute or until all mussels are open.
  • Add the lemon juice, salt (to taste) and parsley. Stir to combine well. Serve hot.

Notes

I served the mussels with plain spaghetti. Just ladle the sauce and the mussels over for a complete meal.
