Clean the mussels and wash them briefly. Heat a large iron skillet, add the mussels to the pan without any fat or seasoning, and cover with a lid. Cook the pan over high heat for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan vigorously every now and then. Ensure all shells have opened; discard any closed mussels. Meanwhile, wash and finely chop the parsley and place it in a bowl with the olive oil, a little salt, and ground pepper. Squeeze the lemon, pour it through a sieve, and add it to the bowl. Remove and discard the empty mussel shells. Arrange the shells with the mussel meat on a platter and immediately pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve hot, immediately.
