Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
6 lb fresh mussels (Penn Coves are the best)
1 whl Walla Walla sweet onion
1 cup olive oil
1 head garlic
6 x shakes red wine vinegar
Tabasco sauce to taste
Oregano to taste
Basil to taste
1/2 stk butter
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Instructions: OK, here we go. Into a large pot or wok, add the oil, garlic, and onion, all minced. Get it hot and add the spices. When its real hot, add the mussels and walk them around until the mussels just begin to open.

Now you can pour in most of the wine (save enough for a glass for yourself), vinegar, and butter. Put the lid on and steam those little critters for about 3 to 4 minutes.

When they are fully opened, you are ready to serve into bowls (so you can include some broth with each serving). Youll want some slightly crisp garlic bread to soak up the broth. Thats the way we do it.

Comments: This is quick, easy and fun. Perfect for a gathering of about 8 friends on a sunny afternoon. - Capn. Mike
