  2. 1/2 cup of white wine
  3. 1 cup of chopped scallions
  4. 4 tablespoons of butter
  5. Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Bring chicken stock and white wine to a simmer (use large sauce pan)
  2. Add butter
  3. Add Mussels once butter has melted
  4. Once Mussels begin to open, add scallions
  5. Cover for one minute

Special Note: our Maine Mussels arrive alive. If you have an open mussel, this means they could be simply relaxing. Pick up that mussels and give it a little squeeze and it's mouth should close. If it does not close, discard. If a mussel does not open upon cooking, no worries, you can still open that mussel and eat the meat. ENJOY!
