A delicious Garlic Mussel recipe to pair with our Classic Selection Chardonnay:

INGREDIENTS

1,5kg fresh cleaned mussels

10 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup finely chopped shallots

6 large garlic cloves, crushed

4 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION

Place mussels in cast iron skillet, cover, and cook over high heat until mussels open, shaking pan occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain mussels, reserving liquid.

Add shallots and garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons parsley, lemon juice, lemon peel, and reserved liquid from mussels and bring to boil. Season to taste with pepper.
