INGREDIENTS to serve 4
  • 4lb High Quality Mussels
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 8 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • ½ oz butter
  • 100ml Dry White Wine
  • 2 tbsp Whipping Cream
  • 1oz Flat Leaf Parselyy
PREPARATION
  1. Finely Chop the onion and roughly chop the parsley.
  2. Wash the mussels under cold running water but don’t scrub the shells. Discard any mussels that float or any where the shells do not stay closed if you push them together as they are not fresh.
    Scrape any barnacles off the shells with a sharp knif and remove the “beards”.
  3. Gently heat the butter in a large pan and add the onion, bay leaves and thyme.
  4. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the mussels and wine and cover then cook for 4-5 minutes until the mussels open.
  6. Finally, stir in the cream and parsley and serve straight away.
Chef's Tip
Serve with bread to mop up the juices.
