These mussels and clams are steamed in a fragrant broth of shallots, herbs, and white wine. You'll want lots of grilled toasts to sop up the juices. Mussels steamed in garlic, onion and white wine is a classic preparation, full of flavor.

Steps to make Zesty Steamed Mussels:
  1. Prepare the mussels for cooking as described in the recipe description above. To reiterate: it is VERY important to ensure that all of your mussels are alive before cooking. Any dead mussels should be discarded.
  2. Place the diced bacon into a cold, large pot and turn on the heat to medium. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Starting the pan cold and adding the drizzle of olive oil will help the bacon render its fat and become crispy. Fry the bacon until it is about halfway cooked.
  3. Before the bacon gets crispy, add the shallot and garlic and stir in well. You don't want to add these any sooner or they will burn.
  4. Once the bacon is well and truly crispy, add in lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Once combined, pour the mussels into the pot and ensure they are spread as evenly across the pot as possible. Pour the white wine over the mussels. The wine should touch every mussel in the pot though they do not need to actually be covered. You're steaming them; not boiling them.
  6. Cover the pot tightly with the lid and allow to cook for about a minute to a minute and a half until all of the mussels have popped open. If there are any mussels which have not opened, these should be discarded but make sure you at least give them the chance. The mussels are cooked as soon as they open. Continuing to cook once they've opened will result in rubbery mussels.
  7. Give the mussels a quick but gentle stir to make sure that they're all coated in the broth. Pour into a serving bowl with all the broth and top with grated parmesan. Serve immediately with bread to use for mopping up the broth.

Once the mussels have opened, quickly transfer them to a serving bowl. Stir the breadcrumbs into the still. Whisk garlicky mayonnaise into mussels and their steaming liquid to spoon over fish. Tender perfectly cooked mussels are dished up in a spicy, well-seasoned sauce. Toasted rustic bread is the ideal way to sop up the broth, although grilled bread would be equally tasty.
