* Mussels need to be very fresh and well chilled. Discard any that are open or with
damaged shells. Remove any stringy beard. Add 2 cups of water to a large pot, bring to
the boil and add the mussels. Steam until most have opened up and discard any that
remain closed. Cool and remove the mussels; chop them coarsely.
