- Cook shallots in butter with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

SUNNY'S GREEN GODDESS MUSSELS
Steps:
- In a large pot, melt the butter in the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the yogurt and whisk until smooth. Raise the heat to medium high and slowly whisk in the stock and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Immediately add the mussels and cover. Cook until the mussels have opened up, 6 to 8 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- While the mussels are cooking, pile the cilantro, dill, mint, parsley, tarragon, scallions and lemon zest on a cutting board and roughly chop a little more.
- Give the mussels a stir, add the herb-zest mixture and stir again. Serve hot with crusty bread to dunk into the cooking liquid.

Pour in the white wine, cover, and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until all the mussels have opened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Green Olive Sauce, pour the mussels onto a platter, and serve.
