Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells clean and removing any beards. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, deep skillet or stockpot over medium heat.

Pour in the white wine and vegetable stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 5
Add the mussels to the pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the liquid.
Step 6
Cover the pot and steam the mussels for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Serve the mussels immediately in large bowls, ladling the cooking liquid over the top for extra flavor.
