Ingredients:

Serving

6 lbs fresh cultured blue mussels
1 bay leaf
1 cup white wine
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small hot pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup shallots or 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 small red pepper, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1/2 cup white wine vinegar ( marinade)
2 tbsp dijon mustard ( marinade)
2 garlic cloves, chopped ( marinade)
1/4 tsp salt ( marinade)
1/2 cup olive oil ( marinade)
1 dash black pepper ( marinade)

Directions:

Stir the fresh blue mussels in a colander while rinsing in tap water. Set aside for a few minutes. Tap any that are open and discard those that don't close in response to the tap.
Place all ingredients (not the marinade ingredients) in a large sauce pan with a lid and steam for 5 to 7 minutes until fresh blue mussels are steamed open (about 3 minutes).
Remove mussels, discarding any that do not open.
When cool, shuck mussels and place meats in a large serving dish. Combine above marinade ingredients in an air–tight container and shake vigorously to blend.
Pour over fresh blue mussels.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
