Ingredients
  

  • 4 pound mussels, (sorted, cleaned (de-bearded, de-barnacled, left in shells))
  • 1 bottle of Stella Artois
  • 1 onion, medium (diced)
  • 3 celery (stalks, diced or thinly sliced)
  • 1 handful of celery greens
  • 6 clove garlic (6 to 8 clv) (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic plus seasoning
  • 1 pinch saffron
  • 1 dash sea salt (to taste)
  • 1 dash fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  • 1 dash dried parsley (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Clean and rinse mussels sorting out the undesirables, and place in large pot. Pour in bottle of beer, add remaining ingredients. Swirl pot around a little to mix things up.
  • Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat and place pot on grill, closing lid, and opening another beer.
  • Check mussels after 20 minutes, shells should be opened up, the meat a nice color and has pulled away from the shells.
  • Serve with sliced baguette or bread of choice.

Notes

  • Sorted means tossing out any suspect shellfish, any with a broken shell or that are opened up wide are usually dead and deadly…
