Mussels with Cider Cream
Serves 6
Butter
2 shallots, finely sliced
1 clove of garlic, sliced
150 mls dry cider
2 Kg mussels, cleaned (discard any that fail to close on the tap test)
100 ml single cream
a small bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
crusty bread to serve
Cook the shallots and garlic in a large pan, in butter, for a couple of minutes. Add cider and mussels, put the lid on and leave for 3 - 4 minutes, shaking regularly, until the mussels have opened (discard any that haven't). Stir in the cream and parsley.
Season and serve with crusty bread.
