This meal is very impressive with its impeccable frangrance, flavor, and freshness. Mussels are filled with so many nutrients, antioxidants, protein, and heart-healthy omega-3s. After tasting it, you won’t believe how easy it is to prepare!
In large pot, heat olive oil and garlic; cook about 1 minute, until garlic is fragrant.
Add clean mussels, lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine, red pepper flakes and basil.
Cover and simmer over medium heat until mussels are steamed open, about 4-6 minutes. Cook time depends on how long it takes the mussels to open – it might take less time, based on stovetop performance.
Remove pot from heat and discard unopened mussels. Serve with crusty bread and lemon wedges.
