Instructions: Thoroughly clean the mussels, remove the "beards" and rinse them well. In a deep saucepan, heat the olive oil, wine, onion, garlic, pepper and parsley. Once boiling, add the mussels and let them cook for 5 minutes, until they open. Deglaze with the lemon juice and discard any that did not open. Serve hot, with their juices.
