How to Make Oven Roasted Mussels
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Position one rack in the bottom third of the oven and another rack in the top third.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish), 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Brush two slices of your favorite bread (about 1 inch thick) on both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place the bread on the top oven rack.
- Place 2 pounds of fresh mussels in a wide, oven-safe pot or skillet.
- Pour the garlic-herb mixture over the mussels.
- Cover the pot and place it on the bottom oven rack.
- Roast for 5-9 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Meanwhile, watch the bread and remove it when lightly toasted.
- In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the reserved chopped chives.
- Add the herb butter to the cooked mussels and stir gently to combine and melt the butter.
- Divide the mussels and their juices among bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped chives.
- Serve immediately with the toasted bread for dipping.
