    Easy 6 Ingredient Steamed Mussels in Beer, Now this also works with clams as well, but my favorite is mussels This is so easy and quick to make It is a wonderful starter dish or even a main course Just make sure to have some crusty bread to go with it My favorite is slice your baguette in half and drizzle with olive oil and toast Rub it with fresh garlic and a slice of tomato for a wonderful fresh flavor Just a Note: I didn’t count the olive oil to saute the vegetables in or the salt and pepper in the six ingredients It is still very very easy and absolutely delicious These amounts work good for 1-1 1/2 lbs Just double each of the ingredients if you are using more mussels , My Sprouts was out of mussels so used little neck clams and it was still amazing , Perfect recipe for mussels One tip – once the beer is added, wait for the liquid to boil before the mussels are added They will be slightly softer this way

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Base -- in a Medium Wide Saute Pan, Add the Olive Oil and Bring to Medium High Heat. Add the Onion and Garlic and Saute a Couple of Minutes.

    2
    Done

    If You Like a Little Heat, Add a Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes, This Is Completely Optional.

    3
    Done

    Mussels -- One Note: Very Important. Rinse the Mussels Well in Cold Water in a Collander. Make Sure That Any Opened Mussels You Tap a Couple of Times and If They Do not Close, They Are Bad (dead) and Make Sure to Toss Those Out.

    4
    Done

    Add the Beer and Mussels to the Pan and Reduce the Heat to Medium and Cover. Simmer Approximately 5-7 Minutes Until the Mussels Begin to Open. Turn the Heat Off and Add the Butter and Parsley and Stir Well. Don't Over Cook the Mussels. You Just Want to Make Sure They All Open Well.

    5
    Done

    Serve -- as I Mentioned - Crusty Bread. I Like to Drizzle With Olive Oil and Toast, Then Rub With a Garlic Clove and a Tomato. Just Cut a Tomato in Half and Rub Over the Bread. It Has Amazing Flavor. the Broth and Onions in the Broth Are a Great Topping to the Bread With. Enjoy! This Very Simple Easy Dish.
