Mussels make an easy and inexpensive meal. For the sweetest mussels, look for smaller ones and ask your fishmonger for the farm-raised variety.

Do not debeard them until just before cooking, or the mussels will die. Remember to discard any mussels that remain open when tapped before cooking, and all that don't open when steamed.
