Ingredients

4 pounds mussels

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 large red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips

Scrub the mussels well in several changes of water, scrape off the beards, and rinse the mussels.

In a large kettle, combine the garlic, bell peppers, onion, and pepperoni and cook the mixture in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened.
