    List of Ingredients




    4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1/2 cup chopped onions
    2 tablespoons minced shallots
    1 stalk celery, finely diced
    1/4 cup chopped parsley
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    2 pounds (about 2 dozen) mussels, cleaned

    * Pour mussel cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a saucepan and reduce quickly and slightly.
