Mussels Mariniere Recipe

Finely dice the onions. Meanwhile, soak the mussels in cold water for 5 minutes. Scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand, changing the water several times until it runs clear.

Transfer the cleaned mussels to a large saucepan. Add the garlic, parsley, diced onion, white wine, vermouth, and the juice from the lemon. Season generously with 3 teaspoons of salt.

Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan tightly and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels have fully opened. Give the pan a good shake occasionally to ensure even cooking.
