Mussels Gratinée

This is a really delicious, creamy and tasty way of serving fresh mussels either as a first course or as a light main course with a salad. You will come home from your fish shop with a shopping bag laden with mussels, but the yield is not great and to give a generous amount I think this quantity is right. It is an easy dish you can prepare well in advance and the turmeric gives it a beautiful yellow colour and subtle flavour.
