MUSSELS (LEMON GARLIC STEAMED)

Steps:

• Rinse and inspect mussels individually, discarding any that are open or have cracked shells. Remove the beard (short pieces of "hair" sticking out of the shell) if necessary. (Just give it a good tug and wiggle).
• Set mussels aside and in a large pan or pot, on the stove top bring butter, garlic, and onion powder to a gentle simmer until garlic becomes fragrant. Add chicken stock and lemon juice, then bring back to a simmer.
• Pour butter and stock mix into a heat proof container and bring the now empty pan up to high heat.
• Add mussels to the very hot pan, pour butter and stock mix over mussels and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook 5 - 7 minutes (stirring or giving the pan a shake occasionally) until mussels have opened.
• Enjoy! Preferably with some no knead beer bread or crunchy french bread!

• Remove the lid and add the cream, garlic, and lemon juice, and continue to cook until the sauce starts to thicken. Test for seasoning and add salt and pepper as required.
• Transfer the mussels and the broth to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Put olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and let sizzle for 30 seconds without browning. Add the mussels, stir to coat and increase heat to high. Add the wine or water, and put on lid. After 2 minutes, give the mussels a stir, then replace lid and continue cooking until all mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Paint cut sides of the baguette pieces with oil and place cut side up under broiler to toast. Rub toasts with the remaining garlic cloves.
• Stir the chopped parsley into the mussels, then ladle mussels and broth into bowls. Serve with the garlic toasts.
