- Get a large pot with a tightly fitting lid hot. Quickly put the mussels and 50ml of the cooking liquid in the pan and cover. Steam the mussels till they open, probably less than a minute. Remove form heat and mix in the carrot puree and chopped parsley. Don't use salt as the liquid from the mussels is salty and will season the sauce. Serve immediately with plenty crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
