==Ingredients==
:mussels - 1kg for two people is enough for me
:glass white wine
:flavourings, I use some finely chopped shallot, carrot, celery, a little thyme, a bay leaf, a few peppercorns

==Method==
#Clean the mussels.  Rinse in a sink full of cold water. Remove the beard if they have them. Throw away any with broken shells or don't close. Also discard any that seem unnaturally light or heavy.
#In a large pot, combine the wine and flavourings.  Bring to the boil and simmer for two minutes. Add the mussels, cover and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes until the mussels open.
#Serve the mussels with the remaining broth leaving behind any sand and grit that the mussels may have released. 
#Serve in soup bowls with baguettes or frites
