Classic, and so so good. It came about as a perfect ending to my hubby’s birthday weekend celebration; but what a great dish for any romantic night… super timely, just in time for Valentines Day.
4 lbs mussels
2 tbsp olive oil
5 tbsp butter
1 Fennel finely chopped
2 shallots finely chopped
7 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup of cream
2 cups white wine
1/3 cup of chopped parsley
10 thyme sprigs

Sauté shallots, fennel and crushed red pepper flakes in olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter until soft. Add garlic and sauté for another 2 min. Add cream, wine, herbs and season well with salt. Add mussels, cover and cook for 10 to 15 min. Serve with fresh baguette 😌😋🤗
