Instructions

  1. Clean the mussels by removing the beard and scrubbing lightly. Discard any broken shells. Tap each mussel lightly against the table; discard any that don't close.
  2. Slice the chilli peppers, garlic, and onion thinly. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chilli peppers, garlic, onion, and ginger. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the white wine and salt to taste. Bring to a boil (happens quickly).
  6. Add the mussels and stir. Cover and steam for 4 minutes until the mussels have opened.
  7. Remove from heat. Add the thyme sprigs and stir gently. Let stand for 2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with bread, french fries, or pasta.
