Method
1
Carefully clean the mussels and open them in a heated saucepan with 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of water. Remove the mussels from the pan. Remove the empty half shells, leaving the mussels intact in the other half shells. Filter the cooking liquid through a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth or a few paper towels.

In a blender or food processor, blend a nice bunch of parsley with a ladle of mussel liquid and 1/4 cup of olive oil. You should obtain a smooth and fairly liquid sauce. Add salt, if needed. Toast the slices of bread and serve with the mussels, accompanied with the Mediterranean sauce.
