Ingredients :-

Mussels - 2 dozen ( cleaned well and beards scrubbed off under cold water )
Onion - 1 medium sized ( chopped fine )
White Wine - 1/2 cup
Dried Parsley- 1 tbsp

Method :-

Take a big pot and heat butter .Add onion and Garlic and sauté. Throw in the dried herbs and add the wine and simmer for about 5 minutes. Place Mussels in pot ,stir well and steam till Mussels open. Please discard the ones that remain closed.
Add the cream and give it a good stir. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes stirring from time to time.

Taste sauce for salt ( I don't use any but some may like a little of it )

Lastly add a dollop of LOVE ;)

Serve hot with Crusty bread..... Yummmmm!!!  Happy Eating... you will be sorry you didn't cook more..;) Enjoy!!

* If you don't want the Cream, don't add it... the Broth is awesome too... just dip the Crusty bread in it... :)
