Instructions

1
Thoroughly clean the mussels under cold running water with a brush, remove the "beard" (threads) and discard any damaged or open shells that do not close when tapped.
2
In a large wide pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for just half a minute, until fragrant but not browned.
3
Stir the breadcrumbs into the garlic and sauté, stirring, for 1 minute, until they absorb the flavors and turn slightly golden.
4
Add the prepared mussels to the pot, quickly stir with a cooking spoon and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
5
Pour dry white wine over the shellfish, cover the pot tightly with a lid and increase the heat to high.
6
Steam the mussels for 5 to 7 minutes. During cooking, shake the pot vigorously twice so that all the mussels open evenly.
7
Remove the pot from the heat and discard any shells that remain completely closed.
8
Stir freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice into the buzara, mix well and serve immediately while hot with slices of toasted whole-grain bread.
