Steps:

• To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
• In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Heat oil in heavy large pot on the grates of the grill. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper and salt and cook for 1 minute.
• Add wine, lemon slices, and 1/4 cup parsley; bring to boil. Add mussels. Cover pot and cook until mussel shells open, stirring once, about 6 minutes; discard any mussels that do not open. Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large shallow bowl. Boil broth in pot until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 minutes; season, to taste, with pepper. Pour broth over mussels. Sprinkle with tomatoes and remaining parsley.
• Brush bread on both sides with oil and season with salt. Grill until golden brown on both sides. Serve mussels with bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
• Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
• If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
• Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
• Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
• Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

Steps:

• In a pot large enough to hold mussels, heat butter on medium heat.
• Add garlic and mussels, toss and warm for two minutes.
• Add tomatoes, wine, cream, salt& pepper.
• Raise heat to med-high, cover and cook 5 minutes.
• Check during cooking.
• Do not overcook.
• Mussels are done when shells have opened.
• Divide into 4 bowl with broth.
• Garnish with parsley and lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Clean mussels. In large pot heat wine. Add garlic, onion, and parsley. Bring to a boil and add mussels. Cover and steam until mussels open. Serve with Italian bread.

Steps:

• Rinse the mussels under cold running water while scrubbing with a vegetable brush. Remove the stringy mussel beards with your thumb and index finger as you wash them. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, garlic, and thyme and cook until the vegetables cook down to a pulp, about 5 minutes. Add the mussels and give everything a good toss. Add the white wine. Cover and steam over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until the mussels open. Stir occasionally so that all the mussels are in contact with the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and a drizzle of olive oil to the sauce remaining in the pot and swirl to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large wide pot with a lid or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, paprika and a generous grinding of pepper; cook, stirring until the garlic is just turning golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels have opened wide, 6 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Stir in the parsley and chives and serve with french fries on the side.

Steps:

• For lemon aioli:
• Whisk egg yolk, garlic, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, drizzle in vegetable oil, then olive oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until aioli is emulsified. Season with salt and more lemon juice, if desired. Cover; chill.
• DO AHEAD: Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For mussels:
• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it begins to darken, about 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
• Add mussels and 1/2 cup water to pot, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open (discard any that do not open), 10-12 minutes.
• Ladle mussels and broth into shallow bowls and top with thyme; serve with bread and lemon aioli.

Steps:

• In a tall pot over low to medium heat soften the onion in olive oil, butter and curry. Stir frequently.
• Once the onion is glassy add the garlic for two or three minutes.
• Add tomato, herbs and pepper, turn heat to full and reduce sauce for a few minutes.
• Add soya sauce and white wine and reduce sauce for another few minutes.
• Add the mussels, give a good stir and put on the lid to create steam for 2 minutes.
• After 2 minutes stir again and replace lid.
• After another 2 minutes stir again and replace lid.
• After another 2 minutes serve with delicious bread for mopping up the garlicky tomato wine sauce.

Steps:

• In a HOT pan with a lid, add olive oil, onions, garlic, chilli and bay leaves.
• Cook until onions and garlic are soft.
• Turn heat to medium high.
• Add mussels and white wine. Put on lid.
• After a few minutes WITHOUT LIFTING LID, shake pot vigorously.
• Turn heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove lid and discard any unopened shells.
• Stir through the basil and cream and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Saute the garlic in the olive oil and margarine over medium heat.
• Stir in the wine, lemon juice, tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and liqueur from the mussels (keep mussels warm).
• Bring to a simmer. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle cornstarch over top and stir in with a whisk. Stir vigorously enough to also break up the tomatoes.
• Return to a simmer and stir frequently, until sauce has thickened a little (will still be fairly thin).
• Add mussels, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve over noodles.

Steps:

• First, make the garlic butter. Blitz all the ingredients in a food processor, then set aside. The butter can be made ahead and chilled in the fridge for up to five days. Toast one side of each sourdough slice under the grill. Spread the other side thickly with the butter and place under the grill again until the butter is bubbling. Turn off the grill and keep the toasts warm.
• Heat the oil and butter over a medium heat in a large pan with a lid. Add the parsley stalks, bay leaf, shallot and ½ tsp pepper, and sweat for a few mins until the shallots are softening and fragrant. Add the mussels and white wine, stir, cover tightly with a lid and steam for 2-3 mins until all the mussels have opened.
• Spoon into bowls, pour over the pan juices, scatter over some chopped parsley and serve with the toasts.
