  • About

This is a classic French way to prepare mussels, cooked simply in white wine and onions and enriched with cream.

Ingredients

  • 60 g (2 oz) unsalted butter
  • 2 onions, chopped

Method

  1. In a deep pan, melt the butter, add the onion and cook over medium heat until transparent and soft, stirring continuously to prevent colouring. Stir in the mussels, wine, bay leaf and thyme and place a tight- fitting lid on the pan. Turn the heat to high and cook rapidly for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan periodically, until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels
