Step 1
1. First, you need to boil the mussels. If you have more mussels than specified in the recipe, it's better to cook them in several batches. Mussels don't require long cooking time (if they are fresh-frozen)—just a few minutes in boiling, slightly salted water.

2. While the mussels are cooling, prepare the sauce: first, fry the flour with garlic. I added a spoonful of butter to the pan and lightly fried the flour over low heat.

3. Fry the onion separately. It's better to fry it in vegetable oil (olive oil is too greasy in this case).

6. Some chefs recommend pouring the sauce over the mussels and placing them in a preheated oven for a few minutes. Another serving option is to arrange the mussels on a large plate, garnish with fresh vegetables and herbs, and top with a "cap" of sauce.
