GREAT EASTERN'S STEAMED MUSSELS
I picked up a 2 lb. bag of live mussels in the supermarket and this is the recipe that was on the package. I prepared it using beer (you could use wine or beer). I would even add lemon juice and maybe some red pepper flakes next time.

Steps:
- Rinse mussels in cold water and discard any broken or open mussels.
- Saute onion, garlic, celery and bay leaf in the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. (I think it needs a little more time to get the onion a bit cooked and I think some butter would also enhance the flavor.).
- Add the mussels, wine (or beer), and cook for about 4-5 minutes (covered) until the mussels open. Shake the pot occasionally while cooking.
- Serve in soup plates, garnished with lemon peel, parsley, broth and crusty bread for dipping.
- Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 as a main course.
