How easy and inexpensive is this to make? I love this dish because it’s the best way to use some leftover wine. The broth it produces with the mussels is excellent for dipping a baguette. A bag of mussels in relatively cheap and when this is served in a large bowl as a communal dip-and-eat appetizer, it’s really a lot of fun.

Saute garlic in a deep pan or pot. Add wine and parsley, allow to simmer. Toss in mussels and lemon juice and allow to simmer for seven minutes. Discard mussels that remain closed. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve with warm bread. Mangia!
