Ingredients
- 1 pound mussel, raw
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 wedge – 1/8 of medium lemon
Instructions
- Make sure your mussels are cleaned and properly rinsed. Place the mussels in the bottom of a large pot so they cover the bottom without piling on top of each other. Pour in the chicken broth and drop in the garlic cloves.
- Cover the pot and simmer the mussels on medium heat for about 10 minutes. If you are cooking fresh, not frozen, mussels, cook until the mussels open.
- For serving, transfer the mussels with their broth to a serving dish. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the mussels. Include wedges of lemon for squeezing.
