Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the beans in a large mixing bowl. Add the red onion, garlic, parsley, crushed red pepper, bay leaves, 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium to high heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Take the skillet away from the heat and add the mussels. Saute for 30 seconds, then add the bean mix, white wine, clam juice and butter. Add the lemon juice. Saute until the mussels open, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve in a large bowl. Garnish with the lemon zest, parsley and grilled bread, if using. Enjoy!
