Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the olive oil, lemon juice, water and garlic in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Add the mussels, in batches if necessary, and cover the pot. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until all the mussels open, about 4 minutes. Remove the mussels, letting any liquid in the shells drip back into the pot.
