Mussels with garlic, onions, and lemon

  • 8 to 10 quarts mussels in shell
  • 3 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 large lemon, sliced
  • 2/3 cup water
Scrub mussels. Wash mussels in lukewarm water, changing water 3 to 4 times; set aside. Put celery, chopped onions, parsley, garlic, lemon and water to a large kettle (large enough to hold mussels). Cover kettle and cook for about 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender; add mussels. Cover and cook for 1bout 15 minutes, or until mussels are open. Shake kettle a few times to prevent sticking. Remove and discard unopened mussels. Serve in broth.
Serves 4 to 6.
