Description

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 onion, finely diced
• 2 1/2 lbs – 3 lbs mussels, bearded and scrubbed
• 12 fluid oz beer
• A bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
• Salt, to taste
• Lemon or lime wedges

Directions

• Rinse the bearded and scrubbed mussels thoroughly. Drain the water dry. Heat up a deep skillet or a pot with the melted butter/olive oil on medium heat. Saute the garlic and onion until you start smelling the aroma, but not browned. Add the mussels into the skillet/pot and stir to combine with the garlic and onion. Pour in the beer and cover the skillet and pot, for a few minutes, or until the mussels are open and cooked. Stir in the chopped parsley and add salt to taste. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon or lime, if you like.
