La Mouclade Ingredients
A good pinch of saffron Half a tsp medium curry
1 3/4 kg Mussels; cleaned 2 tb Cognac
120 ml Dry white wine 2 ts Plain flour
25 g Butter 200 ml Creme fraiche
1 sm Onion; chopped 3 tb Chopped parsley
2 Garlic cloves; finely Salt and freshly ground
Instructions for La Mouclade
1 Put the saffron into a small bowl and moisten with 1 tbsp warm water. Place the mussels and wine in a large pan, cover and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan now and then, until the mussels have opened. 2 Tip them into a colander set over a bowl to catch all the cooking liquor and discard any that havent opened. Transfer the mussels to a large serving bowl and keep warm. 3 Melt the butter in a pan, add the onion, garlic and curry powder and cook gently without browning for 2-3 minutes. Add the cognac and cook until it has almost all evaporated, then stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. 4 Gradually stir in the saffron liquid and all but the last tablespoon or two of the mussel cooking liquor, which might contain some grit. 5 Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the cream and simmer for a further 3 minutes, until slightly reduced. 6 Season to taste, stir in the parsley and then pour the sauce over the mussels. Stir them together gently and serve with plenty of French bread.

Ingredients
5 shallots, roughly chopped
400ml dry white wine Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
3kg mussels, washed and scrubbed, beards removed, shells tightly closed
Sauce
150g butter
3 shallots, finely chopped
2 tbsp plain flour
1 pinch saffron threads
200ml double cream
10g parsley, finely chopped
Put the shallots in a large saucepan with the wine, vinegar, thyme and bay leaf and bring to the boil.
Add the mussels, cover and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking vigorously from time to time, until all the shells have opened. Take the pan off the heat and remove the mussels with a slotted spoon, reserving the broth. Take the mussels out of their shells and place in a large baking dish; set aside.
For the sauce, melt the butter in another pan and sweat the shallots for 4-5 minutes until soft and transparent. Stir in the flour and while it is bubbling, add a ladleful of the mussel broth and the saffron threads, stirring continuously. Add the cream and strain in the remaining broth; simmer for 5-10 minutes until it is of a coating consistency. Add the parsley and season. Spoon the sauce over the mussels and put under a hot grill for about 5 minutes until it is bubbling.
