Instructions
Rinse and scrub mussels under cold water.
Using your fingers or paring knife, remove beards (strings that hang from the mussel shells), and discard.
Add butter, oil and anchovies to a large pot over medium heat. Cook until the anchovies break down, about 1 minute. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and let sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Quickly pour in wine and broth into the pan and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Bring sauce to a boil and cook 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in mussels, and cover immediately. Shake pot and let boil for 1 minute.
Stir mussels, cover, and let boil for 3 to 4 minutes until the shells begin to open.
Stir in parsley. Serve with grilled bread, if desired.
