Steamed Mussels

Ingredients:
• 4 pounds mussels
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 4 or 5 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• parsley
• Bread for mopping the juices

Clean mussels thoroughly. Discard any that do not close. Put them in a sauce pan with white wine, garlic, onion and parsley and cook over high heat until the mussels open, about 8 minutes. Throw out any that do not open.

Serve in bowl and have bread handy for mopping the juices.
