    Title: Creamy Garlic & White Wine Mussels
    Categories: Seafood, Dairy, Wine, Vegetables
    Yield: 2 Servings

    12 Green lip mussels
    6 cl Garlic
    1 1/2 c Dry white wine
    1 Rib celery
    1 sm Onion
    1 tb Butter
    1/4 c Half & half cream

    Preparing mussels for cooking: Scrub mussels well in sink
    with running cold water. Remove "beards" from the mussel
    by pulling firmly towards hinge. If mussels are open then
    tap them...if they close they are good but if the do not
    discard immediately.

    Finely chop onion, celery and garlic. Place into pot and
    gently saut|- in butter. (Make sure the pot is big enough
    to hold the dozen mussels).

    Add the wine and bring to the boil. Drop in mussels, stir
    once and place on the lid. Steam until they open. Discard
    any that do not open.

    Remove pot from heat, add cream and serve.

    Best served with some crusty french bread to soak up the
    delicious sauce.

    NOTES: If using frozen mussels you will not have to de-
    beard then nor worry about their open or closed states.
    If you make it when Georgia is coming over you'll have
    to eat it all yourself (DAMN!!) and make something else
    for her. - UDD

    ... Advice is usually worth what it cost. Less if you hired a consultant.
