Method

Clean and debeard the mussels, discarding any that remain open when tapped.

Heat olive oil in a heavy-based pan and soften shallots and garlic without browning.

Add the wine and boil for one minute to evaporate the alcohol.

Add mussels and most of the parsley, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes while shaking the pan.

Discard any unopened mussels and serve in a bowl with the liquid and crusty bread.
