• 2 sticks Real Butter No Salt
• 1/2 cups Chopped White Onion
• 5 Tablespoons Chopped Garlic, Divided

1. I soak my mussels in water and the flour to rid them of sand.
2. In a sauce pan, add butter and onions; cook till onions start to become transparent.
3. Then add 4 tablespoons garlic, lemon juice (save the juiced halves), 1 cup wine, pepper, salt, and simmer until thickened slightly.
4. Add pernod and basil; turn off heat.
5. While sauce is simmering, put cleaned mussels into a large pot with the remaining wine, garlic, and the juiced lemons from the sauce.
6. Steam until all shells have opened.
7. Discard and unopened shells.
8. Put mussels into a bowl and spoon sauce over.
9. Eat with good crusty bread and glass of wine!
