Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bag fresh mussels (2-3 pounds)
  • 1 clove garlic ( sliced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 ounce white wine (optional)

Instruction

  • Rinse your mussels thoroughly and remove any mussels that won’t close if you tap them. Open mussels are dead, and you can’t eat those.
  • In a large saute pan add your olive oil and sliced Garlic. Allow the pan to heat up some and as the garlic begins to cook add in the mussels, red pepper flakes and basil.
  • Cover the pan and allow the mussels to steam open.
  • When the mussels have opened allow them to cook for 2-3 more minutes and serve immediately with a loaf of good crusty bread.
