Instructions

  1. Rinse the mussels 2-3 times under cold water, removing any dirt and sand.
  2. Peel the onions and cut each into 8 pieces. Clean the celery and cut the stalks into 2-4 cm pieces.
  3. Heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, and cook for 5 minutes until tender but still firm. Add a splash of white wine or broth if desired.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the drained mussels, season generously with salt and pepper, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-10 minutes until all mussels have opened.
  5. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
