Wine soaked mussels with garlic toast
Ingredients:
● 4 thick slices of white peasant bread
● 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
● 2 garlic cloves—1 left whole, 1 thinly sliced
● 1 medium shallot, minced
● salt and freshly ground pepper
● 4 pounds mussels, scrubbed
● 1 1/2 cups sauvignon blanc or other dry white wine
● 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
● 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions: garlic toast:
● preheat the broiler. Brush the bread with olive oil and transfer to a baking sheet.
● broil the bread a few inches from the heat, turning once, for 2 minutes, until
Golden and toasted.
● lightly rub the whole garlic clove over the toasts.
Mussels:
● in a large, deep pot, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
● add the shallot and sliced garlic, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook
Over high heat, stirring, until the garlic is softened and lightly browned, about 3
Minutes.

● remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to 4 deep
Bowls, discarding any mussels that do not open.
● add the butter and parsley to the broth, swirling and shaking the pot until the
Butter melts.
● slowly pour the broth over the mussels, stopping before you reach the grit at the
Bottom of the pot.
● serve the mussels with the garlic toasts.
