Look for debearded mussels in the market to save considerable time and effort; they usually come in mesh bags. Like clams, mussels should be put into a colander and held under cold running water; they can die if allowed to sit in fresh water for a prolonged period of time. Discard any mussels with broken shells and those that do not open while cooking.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 pounds debearded mussels (32 to 36 mussels)

6 ounces red potato (about 1 potato)

1 ounce celery (about 1 small stalk)

1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped white onion (precut)

1 cup dry white wine or water (or a mixture)

1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

1 teaspoon curry powder

DIRECTIONS

Put the mussels in a colander and shake under cold running water for about 1 minute. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped.

Peel and dice the potato (about 3/4 cup) and trim and dice the celery (about 2 tablespoons).

Preheat a Dutch oven over high heat.

Add the potato, celery, tomatoes, onion, and wine and/or water to the hot pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

Stir in the basil, curry powder, and mussels. Re-cover and cook, shaking the pan periodically, for 5 to 7 minutes more, until the mussels have opened.

Serve 8 to 9 mussels per person.
