Step by Step guide

Step 1

Clean the mussels to remove any dirt and rinse them under running water.

Step 2

In a skillet, sauté finely chopped onion and garlic in butter.

Step 3

Pour in the wine, add the bouquet garni (stems of parsley, a piece of leek leaf, bay leaf, and thyme). Cook for three minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate. Then, add the mussels to the wine and cook for another three to four minutes, after which remove the mussels.
