|
Do not worry if some mussels are whitish, they are the males, whereas the females have the strong orange color. |
 1.5 kg
mussels 12 tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1/2 red pepper 2 tbsp chopped parsley 1 1/2 glass of dry white wine salt |
|
| Clean the mussels with the help of a wire brush, removing all the growths by holding the mussel firmly between index and thumb and pulling towards the large side. Wash them thoroughly under running water. |
| In a very large saucepan, pour the oil,
sauté the garlic, and before it browns add the red pepper, salt, wine and
mussels. Stir them well and let them cook till the shells open. Discard the mussels that have not opened, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. |
