Steps:
- In a pot large enough to accommodate the mussels heat 2 tablespoons butter and gently cook onions, shallots, celery and half of the parsley for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Season with pepper, add the mussels and raise the heat. When the steam starts to escape, shake the pot, keeping the cover tightly on to rotate the mussels inside. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes or until they open. Discard unopened mussels and set them in a deep bowl. Pour mussel cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a saucepan and reduce quickly and slightly. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and parsley and spoon over mussels. Serve with warm French bread to sop up the juices.
AHOY THERE! MOULES MARINIèRES - FRENCH SAILOR'S MUSSELS
I adore moules, mussels, and this is the classic French recipe for them. Moules Marinières is also commonly known as Sailor's mussels or Mariner's mussels. The dish consists of delicately steamed fresh mussels in a white wine, garlic, parsley, butter, onion and cream sauce. Moules Marinières can be served as an appetising starter or even a light main meal. It is delicious served with fresh crusty bread or with frites (chips/fries). There is nothing more mouth-watering than a huge bowl of artistically presented mussels, yet the fun part is eating them. The best way is to use an empty mussel shell as the "spoon" in which to pick the remaining mussels from their shells and then eat them. It's a brilliant excuse to use your fingers to eat rather than the usual knife and for - very tactile! A traditional French recipe will use butter, however the butter may be substituted for a few tablespoons of olive oil for a healthier option - I sometimes use a mix of butter and olive oil I hope you find the step-by-step photos helpful, this recipe was used in the September 2008 Cooking School for the TOTM - hopefully, the photos will debunk the myth that mussels are hard to prepare and cook, NOT so! Bon Appétit!

Steps:
- Place the live mussels in fresh water. Scrub and debeard the mussels (see the photos), discarding any that are open, broken or cracked.
- Fry the chopped onion and chopped garlic cloves (over medium heat) in a little butter (or oil) in the biggest saucepan you have. Add half of the finely chopped fresh herbs - I have used a mixture of parsley, oregano and tarragon. Season with black pepper, wait to season with salt to taste later.
- Add the white wine to the butter and herbs, and then tip in the freshly cleaned mussels - turn up the heat to high. Cover the pan and let the mussels steam for about 5 minutes. Shake the pan every minute or so to coat the mussels in the liquid.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the double cream or creme fraiche; then add of the remaining finely chopped herbs. Mix through thoroughly. That's it! Enjoy with crusty bread, frites and a chilled white wine -- divine!
- NB: Discard any mussels that don't open during cooking. (see photos).

- Before cooking, check and clean your mussels. Rinse all of them well, then go through and check each one, making sure any that are open will shut if you give them a sharp tap on the counter, or you squeeze them shut. Pull off any "beards" (the ropey bits) by pulling down sharply, and use a sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles or dirt off the messiest ones. Rinse again before using within an hour of cleaning. When I've got good-quality live mussels from a fishmonger, this has taken me as little as 10-15 mins. When I've got a pack from a supermarket that weren't great, they not only didn't taste as good, but they also took me well over half an hour to clean! There was no difference in price either, so make sure you hunt down the good ones.
- Once the mussels are clean and ready, heat the butter in a large deep pot or pan (it should have a lid and be big enough to hold all of the mussels). Gently fry the onion, celery, garlic and leek over low-medium heat for 3-5 mins until softened. Season with salt & pepper, then add the spinach and wine or vermouth, along with the cleaned mussels. Put the lid on the pot and cook the mussels for 3-5 mins, until the mussels are open and cooked. Take off the heat and pour over the cream and parsley.
- Serve with a bowl for the empty shells, and alongside crusty bread to dip in the cream sauce and a side salad or steamed greens. I love this with steamed purple sprouting broccoli drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with salt & pepper, and sprinkled with lemon juice and fresh sliced red chilli.
