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, removing the beards by pulling them off. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the garlic for a few moments before adding the mussels. Stir and toss the mussels, then add the white wine and diced tomatoes. Cover the skillet with the lid and steam for 1 minute, or until all the mussels are open.
  • Add the lemon juice, salt (to taste), and parsley. Stir to combine well and serve hot.

Notes

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