Ingredients
Place mussels in heavy large Dutch oven, cover and cook over high heat until mussels open, shaking pan occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain mussels, reserving liquid. Transfer mussels to bowl; discard any that do not open. Tent bowl with foil. Melt butter in same Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and saut� until tender, about 3 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons parsley, lemon juice, lemon peel and reserved liquid from mussels and bring to boil. Season to taste with pepper. Drizzle garlic butter over mussels. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley. Garlic is a perfect partner for the shellfish in this easy starter. Pass a basket of soda bread to mop all the juices. Bon App�tit May 1996 ----
