• Step 2

  Heat a cast-iron (or oven-safe) pan over medium heat, and melt the butter. When melted, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds (keep watch that it doesn’t burn), then pour in the apple cider and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover with a tight fitting lid, and transfer to the Traeger. Cook for 8 –10 minutes, or until the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that do not open).
