Number Of Ingredients 7

2 kilograms cleaned mussels in their shells
2 or 3 - shallots, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
2 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
2 - glasses of dry white wine.
- cream to taste - about 1/4 cup but more won't do damage if you want to add it
- some chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Grab a very large pot that also has a lid. Sweat the chopped shallots in the butter until soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook gently for a further minute or so. Add the two glasses of wine and bring to the boil
  • Add in the mussels and cover for about 3 minutes, or until the mussels open (discard any closed ones) Pour in a healthy glug of cream to your liking and the parsley
  • Stir well and serve immediately with plenty of fresh crusty bread for dunking. Accept your applause and pour yourself glass of wine.
