  • 2 tablespoons unsalted Kerrygold Irish butter
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Put a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the mussels and remaining ingredients and cover immediately (The mussels will make a sizzling sound.) Cook, stirring once or twice, for 6-8 minutes, or until the mussels open.
  2. To serve, divide the mussels among shallow bowls and ladle the broth over them. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with a wedge of lemon and slices of bread to sop up the juice.
