Cover and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the mussels have steamed open.
Using a slotted spoon , transfer the mussels to individual serving bowls discarding any that have not opened.
Strain juice to remove any broken bits of shell , herb stalks and any little crabs which might have been trapped inside.
