Great for a romantic dinner for two or an inexpensive appetizer. Choose your mussels carefully as small mussels will not work with this recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds large mussels
1 small onion, chopped
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Scrape mussels under cold running water and remove beards. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped.
  • Combine mussels, onion, wine, and pepper in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, shaking pot frequently, until mussels open, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic in a small dish. Whisk oil and lemon juice together in a second small bowl.
  • Snap each mussel into 2 parts and place the shell with the meat in an oven-proof dish. Make sure no liquid remains on the shell; discard the empty shells. Spoon parsley mixture over the mussels and drizzle with the oil mixture.
  • Bake mussels in the preheated oven until topping is crunchy, about 10 minutes.
