PREPERATION

Place mussels in a big pot, add all the ingredients and cover. Bring the liquid to a boil, cook about 5 minutes or until mussels open. Throw out any that don’t!

If you’re serving as an appetizer they are ready to go. If you’re serving over pasta, remove the mussels from their shells and serve the sauce over the pasta.
