STEAMED MUSSELS

STEAMED MUSSELS 4-5 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 onion, diced 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 4-5 lbs. mussels, cleaned and de-bearded 1 cup white wine couple pinches of pepper couple pinches of salt

Heat a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add oil. Wait until oil starts to smoke and add the onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, mussels, wine, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover pan immediately. Give pan a good shake, and let steam for about 2 minutes. Check to see if the mussels have opened; if not, let steam for another minute.

If some mussels have not opened, discard them. Don't cook any longer then 3 minutes because mussels are very easy to overcook and they become rubbery.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
