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.
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 onion finely diced
- 2 1/2- 3 lbs (2½ kg) mussels bearded and scrubbed
- 12 oz (350g) beer
- 1 bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves coarsely chopped
- Salt to taste
- Lemon or lime wedges
Instructions
- Rinse the bearded and scrubbed mussels thoroughly, then drain the water completely.
- Heat a deep skillet or pot over medium heat with the melted butter or olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant, but not browned. Add the mussels to the skillet or pot and stir to combine with the garlic and onion.
- Pour in the beer and cover the skillet or pot for a few minutes, or until the mussels open and are cooked. Stir in the chopped parsley and add salt to taste. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon or lime, if desired.
Notes
The beer broth with the briny and sweet flavor of mussels is absolutely delicious. "Drink" the juice or sop up with garlic bread.
