For me, the best way to eat mussels!
INGREDIENTS (serve 2 ppl)
2kg mussels
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
4 lemon rinds
Parsley, stalks and leaves picked and roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges (optional)
METHOD
In a large pot, over medium heat, add the oil, garlic cloves, lemon rinds and 3 parsley stalks.
Sauté until fragrant, paying attention to not browning the lemon rinds and parsley stalks.
Add the mussels and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper.
Cover with a lid.
Stir occasionally and cook until the shells start to open up, around 3-4 minutes.
When ready, place the cooked mussels in a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve them with some lemon wedges.
