Ingredients
500 g NZ Green-Lipped mussels
1 cup white wine
3 cloves of garlic
3 spring onions
fresh parsley and chives
250 ml double thick cream
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
Directions
Finely chop garlic, spring onions, parsley and chives.
Prepare mussels by thoroughly scrubbing the shells in cold water and remove any excess bits and pieces that may be stuck to them. Remove the “beard”, as this can be poisonous.
Place mussels in a large pot with the white wine. Cover and heat over a medium heat until the shells begin to open (about 5 minutes).
Quickly pour cream over the mussels and then add the garlic, spring onions, SIDS SALT & PEPPER and herbs. Cover and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour everything into a large bowl that has been heated.
Serve with french bread and butter as a starter or on a bed of pasta as a main dish.
