5 pounds mussels, well-scrubbed
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil or half that amount dried
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

Put the mussels in a large kettle or casserole. Add the remaining ingredients, and cover tightly. Bring the liquid to a boil, and cook over high heat until the mussels open, about 8 minutes.
