Repeat procedure with liquid remaining in skillet and remaining mussels.

Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Make sure the mussels are alive and their shells are tightly closed. Discard any mussels with open shells or broken shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a brush to remove any barnacles or other growth from the shells.
- Cook the mussels properly: Mussels should be cooked until the shells open. Overcooking can make them tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: The marinade can be made several hours or even a day in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
