I make this recipe with chopped celery, onions and garlic. Just follow the recipe with the chopped celery. Deglaze with good white wine and add a touch of milk at the end. The celery taste is wonderful with the mussels.

I used a third of the butter, onions instead of shallots and dried tarragon instead of thyme. I didn't have parsley, either, but the dish was very good and much easier to make than a three rating suggests. Yum! Thanks.
