INGREDIENTS

• 8 pounds small mussels
• 1 cup each water and dry white wine
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup each minced onion, minced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup minced green onion
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Scrub mussels well, pull out beard, and put in a large pot with the water and wine. Cover tightly; steam over high heat until mussels just open. Remove from heat. When mussels are cool enough to handle, remove from shells, reserving half the shells.
• In a medium skillet over moderate heat, melt 1/2 cup butter. Add onion, red and green pepper, celery, and green onion. Saute until vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard. Add mussels, salt, and cayenne. Remove from heat.
• Place one mussel and a little of the seasoned vegetable mixture in each mussel shell. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; dot with remaining butter.
• Bake until bread crumbs are well browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
