1
Clean the mussels and discard those that appear to be dead, i.e. will not close their shells when a friendly pressure has been applied a few times.
2
Parboil the veggie mix in the microwave oven at full power (700 W), 1.5 minutes for every 100 gram of vegetables.

Transfer the vegetables to a 6 liter casserole, add the wine, the saffron and the mussels and bring to a boil.
4
Stir now and then (about every 10 seconds), using a wooden fork if available, until all the mussels have opened (this should only take a few minutes). The dish is now ready to be served.
