John's NZ Greenlip Mussels

Carefully scrub 1-2 dozen live NZ greenlip Mussels and pull off the "beard".
Heat plenty of Olive Oil in a very large saucepan (leave the heat on high for all the cooking to follow).
When the oil is almost smoking, add the mussels and cook for 5 mins stirring them around constantly.
Add 3 tablespoons butter, 5 cloves chopped Garlic, 1 heaped teaspoon chopped Ginger.
Cook for 3-5 mins more, still stirring.
Add 1 cup Mirin Wine, 1 cup White Wine, 1 cup Sour Cream, heaps of ground Black Pepper and Sea salt.
Cook for 5 mins more and serve.

Serving

Put the Mussels on the plates and pour the juices from the pan over them having reduced the juices on high heat if neccessary.
