A delightful dish of steamed mussels infused with a rich garlic herb butter sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub their shells.
Ensure all mussels are closed before cooking; discard any that remain open.
Remove the beards from the mussels using your fingers or a knife.
Pull the beards firmly towards the hinge of the shell for easy removal.
In a large stockpot, combine the white wine, shallots, garlic, and salt.
Use a dry white wine for a more pronounced flavor.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Simmering helps to meld the flavors together.
Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and increase the heat to high.
Ensure the pot is tightly covered to steam the mussels effectively.
Cook until the mussels open, about 5 minutes.
Discard any mussels that do not open during cooking.
Stir in the parsley, thyme, and butter until the butter melts.
Adding the herbs and butter at the end preserves their fresh flavors.
Divide the mussels and broth among serving bowls.
Serve immediately to enjoy the mussels at their best.
