Steamed mussels with white wine
Do you want to learn how to prepare exquisite steamed mussels? In this recipe we explain the step by step and the ingredients you need.
Ingredients
- 1 kg fresh rock mussels
- 1 lemon
- 1 glass of white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- Black pepper
- Water
How to cook steamed mussels with white wine
- The first step is to clean the mussels well. These bivalve mollusks have filaments and baleen attached to the shell. It is important to remove them using a knife and cold water. At this point we can also discard those that have a broken shell and the inside can be seen.
- We then leave them in water and salt for about 30 minutes. This will help eliminate sand (if they have it) and make the results much better. Always remember to cook with fresh mussels. While you wait you can take the opportunity to squeeze the lemon and set it aside.
- Once the mussels are very clean, we proceed to prepare a casserole with a touch of water. It is not necessary to add more since the mollusks will expel water from their interior during cooking.
- Inside the casserole we add the kilo of mussels, the lemon juice, the bay leaf, a little black pepper and a splash of white wine. Let it steam for approximately 10-15 minutes over medium heat. The goal is for most of the mussels to remain open. After this time, if there is one that is closed we discard it since it is probably bad.
