- mussels
- wild mushrooms
- celery
- carrots
- onions
- white wine

Preparation

1. Chop finely equal parts of celery, carrots and onions. I usually use 1 carrot, 1/2 of an onion and 1 or 2 stalk of celery.

2. In a big pot on med-high, add butter and/or olive oil and add mirepoix (celery, onion, carrot) in the pot and sautee for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add wild mushrooms and continue to sautee for 2-3 minutes.

4. Pour in a glass of a white wine of choice and add mussels and close the lid.

5. Wait 5-8 minutes until mussels open and look ready to eat.

6. Fish out mussels and make sure the mussel liquor goes into the pot. Set aside mussels.

7. Take 4-6 meat from the mussels, together with 2-3 tablespoons of mirepoix/wine/mushroom mixture from the pot and pop in blender and smoothen. This will be your sauce.

8. Arrange the mussels on a plate and spoon over the blended sauce, together with the chunky sauce from the bottom of the pot.

9. Garnish with vertically sliced green onions.

Looks gorgeous, though it could use some salt and pepper. This is probably my favourite way to eat mussels as well.

I LOVE this! I'm going to try this! Thanks!

BTW, I also did a Teriyaki Rice burger some time back. It's something similar to what you suggested to me. Have a look if you like
