How to Make Mussels Amore

  1. Scrub and rinse 1 pound of fresh mussels under cold running water. Discard any open or cracked shells.
  2. In a large casserole dish, combine mussels, 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup chopped shallots.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until all mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons butter, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  5. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and thicken.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill and serve immediately with crusty bread.
