Directions
- Clean the mussels in plenty of water. Discard the ones who don't close or are broken.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until translucent, 3 minutes. Add the mussels, wine, chiles, and celery and cover. Cook until the mussels have opened, 10 minutes. Pour the mussels into a deep bowl and spoon the vegetables on top, discarding any mussels that did not open. Serve with some crunchy bread on the side.
