Preparation

Step 1

1. Pick over the mussels, discarding any that are open. Scrub the remaining mussels, removing any beards. Put the wine, bay leaf, shallots, garlic, and pepper in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover, and steam until they open, 5 minutes.
2. Move the mussels to a large serving dish with a slotted spoon, discarding any that have not opened. Whisk the butter into the cooking liquid, along with the parsley, and pour over the mussels.
