Method
Set the pot from your Stanley Full Kitchen Base Camp Cook Set over medium-high heat. Heat a glug of oil then add the onion, carrot and celery. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes to soften the veggies, then add the garlic and capers. Fry for another 2 minutes until fragrant, then add the limoncello (or substitute mix) and the stock. Mix to combine then put the lid on and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the mussels to the liquid, then cover and steam for 5 minutes to cook the mussels. After 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and add the cream. Add half the herbs and season lightly to taste, then mix to combine.
Garnish with the remaining herbs and serve with toasted ciabatta.
