Rinse and scrub the mussels under cold water, removing any grit or beards. Discard any mussels that are cracked or do not close when tapped.

Pour in the dry white wine and chicken or seafood stock, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
