INGREDIENT List

4 tablespoons or ½ stick windy hill herb butter

1 small onion finely chopped

3 cloves garlic minced

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves

1 kg mussels

1 cup dry white wine

For serving: pasta or crusty bread

METHOD

  1. Melt the butter in a large deep pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, stirring until soft (about 2-3 minutes).

  2. Add fresh parsley, thyme, and mussels to the pot. Pour wine over top, cover, and cook over high heat until the mussels open (about 4-5 minutes). Shake the pot frequently as the mussels cook to make sure that they steam evenly and open up.

  3. Remove mussels to individual serving bowls. Ladle wine sauce over top. Serve with pasta or crusty bread and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
