Method
- Before you start cooking, scrub the mussels well, removing any beards, and discard any that don’t close when tapped firmly on the work surface.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan with a lid. Finely chop the shallots, then fry gently with the thyme for 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, then add the mussels and wine to the pan. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until the mussels open (discard any that remain closed). Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley.
- Stir the chopped parsley and double cream into the mussels, then serve with plenty of crusty bread.
