Steamed Mussels II
STEPHANO
"Less is more when it comes to cooking mussels! Use only fresh mussels, which are tightly closed when you buy them. If you can't find fresh mussels, make something else! Serve with slices of fresh crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth."

Delicious and quick! Used 1 lb. of mussels instead (since I was cooking for one) and had more than enough for two meals.
