Simple yet sophisticated, and perfect for a romantic evening at home! New Zealand Green Mussels aren't just tender and delicious; they're also a fantastic source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Cooking Procedure
- Defrost the mussels over night in the refrigerator. If you're pressed for time, defrost the mussels in a big bowl of cold water for about 45 minutes, changing the water every 15 minutes.
- In a 12-inch skillet or a large pot, heat oil until shimmering over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are translucent and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add wine, chopped parsley, and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook one minute.
- Raise heat to high; add mussels. Cover tightly, and cook, shaking the pan frequently.
- Cover tightly, and cook for 8 minutes, shaking the pan frequently.
- Remove the mussels from the liquid and place in a large serving bowl. If you used black mussels, discard any mussels that didn't open. Season broth with salt and pepper; cook one more minute. Pour broth over mussels and serve with lemon wedges.
