THE DRUNKEN MUSSEL IS AN IRISH FAVOURITE
St. Patrick's Day is upon us once more, bringing waves of green clothing and face paint, sparkling shamrocks - and most enjoyable of all - cold beer. For those looking for an authentic and fun Irish inspired meal to accompany their celebrations, they need look no further than fresh cultivated Atlantic Canadian drunken mussels.

Steps:
- Stir the fresh blue mussels in a colander while rinsing in tap water. Set aside for a few minutes. Tap any that are open and discard those that don't close in response to the tap.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to pot, cook chopped onion and celery, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beer and fresh mussels.
- Cover and steam over high heat until the mussels are open (6-8 minutes).
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the mussels, add some parsley and pour into a large bowl to share. Don't forget to sip the sauce.
