Apple Onion Mussels

Rincez les moules fraîches de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard sous l'eau du robinet. Tapotez les moules encore ouvertes et jetez celles qui ne se referment pas après avoir été tapotées et rincées. Réservez.

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the onion and garlic until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour in the apple juice. Add the mussels and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to high and cook until steam pours out from under the lid and the shells are open, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for about 1 minute. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Stir in apple cider vinegar and transfer to a large serving bowl. Some crusty bread makes a nice accompaniment to this recipe.
