Ingredients
• 2 lbs. mussels
• 1 small to medium carrot, cut into small dice
• 1 stalk celery, cut into small dice

• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil, as needed
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Directions
Rinse, scrub, and de-beard the mussels, discarding any that are cracked or open and will not close.
Sauté the carrot, celery, and onion, with salt and pepper in the olive oil until softened but not brown.
Add the garlic and sauté one more minute.
Deglaze the pan with the stock and wine and bring to a boil.
