Mussel Pot

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

• salt (to taste)
• 1 dash black pepper
• French bread (sliced)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small pot, add the melted butter, followed by the garlic, onions, lemon, and chopped parsley leaves.

2. 2

   Add the mussels, wine, and salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook over high heat for about five minutes, shaking the pan intermittently until the mussels open.

3. 3

   Slice the bread to medium thickness and rub garlic over each slice. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly toast on both sides.

4. 4

   Serve the mussels directly in the pot, with the bread on the side.
