I LOVE mussels prepared with wine and garlic. This is a simple way to prepare fresh mussels from restaurant Resto in New York City. Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, chopped |
kosher salt |
4 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley, plus |
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves |
6 anchovies, chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cups white wine |
3 lbs fresh mussels, debearded |
1 lemon, zest of |
Directions:
1. Make a paste with the garlic and a little salt. Top garlic with chopped parsley and anchovies; chop together to form a smooth paste.
2. Heat oil in a 6 quart pot over medium heat. Add paste; cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add wine; boil for 2 minutes. Add mussels; cover and steam until they open, 3-4 minutes.
3. Sprinkle mussels with parsley leaves and lemon zest. Toss with a spoon.
4. Serve mussels and broth in bowls with crusty bread to sop up the savory liquid.
