Start by cleaning the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells and removing the beards. Finely chop the onions and garlic, and roughly chop the parsley or other green herbs.

Cooking the Mussels

In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until softened. Add the mussels and cover the pot. Pour in a mix of water and white wine or light stock, then season with salt, pepper, and your chosen spices. Cook until the mussels open, discarding any that do not. Garnish with the chopped herbs before serving.
