Wine-Braised Mussels
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 cups white wine
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components before commencing the recipe.
2
Heat a substantial container over medium thermal levels. Melt butter within it, stirring occasionally until fully incorporated. Introduce garlic into the mixture and allow it to sizzle for approximately 30 seconds, releasing its aromatic properties.
3
Next, incorporate lemon zest and red pepper flakes into the pot, stirring for roughly 45 seconds to distribute these flavors evenly.
4
Subsequently, rapidly pour wine into the container, adding a pinch of black pepper to enhance the flavor profile. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil; then, introduce mussels and cover the pot immediately, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid.
5
Shake the container gently to facilitate the mussels' cooking process, allowing them to boil for 1 minute.
6
Subsequently, stir the mussels to redistribute the ingredients and replace the cover. Allow the mixture to boil for an additional 2 minutes, during which time the shells will begin to open.
7
Finally, stir in some fresh parsley and cover the pot once more. Continue cooking until all shells have opened, typically taking 1 to 3 minutes.

Present the dish and indulge in its delightful flavors!
