Preparation

How to prepare Mussels with White Beer

Remove the beard (byssus)1 protruding from each mussel shell, discard the broken ones 2, and clean the shells of the remaining mussels by scrubbing them (or scrubbing them with a new steel wool pad)3, then rinse them under running water and drain.

Wash, remove the strings, and slice the celery 4 into 1/4 inch thick pieces; wash the lime (or a lemon), dry it, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest 5 without getting the white part (which can be bitter); cut the removed zest into thin strips 6.

Squeeze the lime 7 and set the juice aside. Peel and cut the onion in half, then slice the two halves into pieces about 1/10 inch thick 8. In a large pot, melt the butter and then add the celery, 9 lime zest 10, and onion 11;

let the vegetables wilt, then add lime juice 12 and the beer 13.

Cook the ingredients for a few minutes, then add the ground pepper 14 and the mussels 15. Mix the ingredients well and cook everything on high heat until the shellfish are fully opened, then turn off the heat and serve immediately, accompanied by stick-cut fries.
