Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Remove and discard the dried beards from the mussels and wash the mussels thoroughly at least twice under cool water, rubbing them against one another to help dislodge any sand.

  2. Step 2

    Put the mussels in a large nonreactive stockpot with the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. When the mixture begins to boil, stir well, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all shells have opened.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the mussels among six plates and spoon some of the juices over them. Serve immediately.
