Method

Wash the mussels under cold running water and discard any that do not close.

Remove the beards and barnacles from the shells using a knife and rinse again.

Soften the garlic and shallots with butter and the bouquet garni in a large pan.

Add the mussels and 100ml of wine, then cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until open.

Remove the bouquet garni, stir in the cream and chopped parsley, and remove from the heat.

Spoon into four warmed bowls and serve immediately with crusty bread.
