Steamed Mussels in White Wine and Garlic

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds mussels
  • 2 white onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ cups dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoon butter, cut into small cubes
  • Salt, to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley
Procedure

Clean the mussels in running water and discard any mussels that are not closed. In a medium sized pot, add the dry white wine along with the chopped onions, minced garlic and salt. Let this mixture simmer over low heat until the onions are translucent. Add the mussels into the pot, cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes on medium heat. Remove lid, and check if all the mussels have opened. Discard any that are still closed. Add butter cubes, and chopped parsley and give it a good stir. Check seasoning and add salt if required. Serve in individual bowl and sprinkle some more chopped parsley.
