Garlicky Mussels

By:

Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 large shallot
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 pounds mussels
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 large lemon
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and melt the butter. When the butter is beginning to foam, add the shallot and garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place the mussels in the pot. Pour the broth and lemon juice over the mussels.
  • Press Cancel. Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to Sealing. Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button and set the cook time to 3 minutes.
  • When the Instant Pot beeps, carefully switch the steam release valve to Venting to quick-release the pressure. When fully released, open the lid. Discard any mussels that did not open during cooking.
  • Carefully transfer the mussels to a serving bowl. Pour any remaining liquid from the pot over the mussels and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
  • To prepare mussels, wash them well and debeard them. Rinse them in a colander and scrub them with a scrub brush under running water. If any of the mussels have a beard—a hairy bit that sticks out between the shells near the hinge—grab it with your fingers and pull it off. Mussels are only safe to cook if they are shut (which means they are still alive). Test open mussels by tapping them on the counter. If they close, they are safe to cook.
