Preparation
- Step 1
In a large (6 quart) pot over medium-high heat, saute garlic in olive oil until garlic is browned on edges, about 2 minutes. Add basil, parsley and mussels. Stir gently for 30 seconds. Add clam juice. Cover pot, and increase heat to high. Steam until mussels open, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2
Remove mussels to serving plates. Whisk butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into broth in pot. Boil until sauce is concentrated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over mussels. Serve immediately.

Kate,I agree with you !! I still have the original recipe and I think it’s the best -easy and delicious !
I finally looked online for this recipe (not that I need it--it is just sort of comforting for me to follow directions) because my yellowed newspaper clipping from about 25 years ago has been on the receiving end of many kitchen spills. Definitely the best reward-to-effort ratio recipe. Oldie but goodie!
