FLEXING MY MUSSELS

Slept for England ( or should that be France ) last night 9 hours !! Haven't don that since my teenage years. Breakfasted on fruit and baguette and now off the buy the wherewithal to make Moules Marinier. The recipe should you be interested is as follows:-

500 gm mussels beads removed. 

1/2 a leek chopped  very small

 Chilli flakes to taste

150ml white wine

100ml cream

1tbs oil

Heat the oil and fry the leek until soft then add chilli flakes. Add the wine, when bubbling add the mussels discarding any that do not close when tapped. Cover pan cook until mussels have opened , about 5 mins. Shake the pan during cooking time. Remove mussels with a slotted spoon discard any that do not open. Add cream to the pan& Boil to thicken slightly then pour over mussels and eat dipping bread to soak up the juice.😊
