Instructions

Step 1

Make a paste with the garlic and a little salt (see Four Tips to Keep). Top garlic with chopped parsley and anchovies; chop together to form a smooth paste.

Step 2

Heat oil in a 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat. Add paste; cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add wine; boil for 2 minutes. Add mussels; cover and steam until they open, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle mussels with parsley leaves and zest. Toss with a spoon. Serve mussels and broth in bowls with crusty bread to sop up the savory liquid.
