Drunken Mussels

I love these mussels, especially when prepared with lots of garlic and white wine. Serve it with toasted or grilled bread for dunking into that glorious broth. The anchovies add a complex, salty flavor that is not fishy – so don’t omit them! The best part, this dish cooks in under 20 minutes. If you love mussels, here are some more easy mussels recipes I love, Steamed Mussels with Piri Piri and Mussels Fra Diavolo.

We love ordering mussels out but they are also one of the easiest things to cook! They only take a few minutes, add them to your favorite broth. Here I use garlic, white wine and anchovies with crushed red pepper flakes. The flavor is out of this world! Serve this as an appetizer or main dish.

How to Clean Mussels Before Cooking

Some mussels come cleaned, but if not here’s how to clean mussels before cooking them. You’ll want to remove the beard, which are the strings hanging from the mussel shell.

  • Rinse and scrub the mussels under cold water.
  • To debeard the mussels, use your fingers or paring knife to remove the beards and discard them.

How long should you cook mussels?

Mussels cook very fast! After cooking the sauce:

  • Throw in the mussels and cover the pot.
  • Shake the pot and boil for a minute.
  • Stir the mussels, cover, and boil for a few more minutes until the shells begin to open. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Once the shells are open, they are ready. Throw out any mussels that don’t open.

What to Serve with Mussels in White Wine Sauce

These mussels in white wine sauce would be delicious served over pasta, like angel hair or fusilli. You could also soak up the sauce with grilled or toasted bread.

Variations:

  • Wine: Use a white wine that is good enough to drink! Don’t use a “cooking wine.” If you prefer not to cook with wine, use more broth.
  • Spiciness: If you prefer milder food, omit the crushed red pepper.
