Ingredients Needed for Mussels in White Wine Sauce
For this dish you need the following ingredients for two people:
- 1 kg fresh mussels

- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 sprig fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-step Preparation of Mussels with Whole Wheat Bread
-
Start by cleaning the mussels. Rinse them under cold water. Remove any beards. These are the thread-like parts that hang from the shells. Discard any open mussels.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent. This will take about 3 minutes. The smell that is released is delicious.
-
Now add the mussels to the pan. Pour the dry white wine over it. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the pan. Put the lid on the pan. Cook the mussels on high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally.
-
After cooking, the mussels will be open. Discard the closed mussels. Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything well.
-
Serve the mussels in a deep dish. Place the slices of whole wheat bread next to it. This bread is perfect to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your meal together!
