- 48 mussels debearded and cleaned
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 shallots chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 lemon
- 1 pinch saffron
- salt
- pepper
- Put the mussels in a large pot with the white wine, shallots, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over high heat, shaking the pot a few times until all the mussels have opened. Remove the mussels with a ladle and carefully spoon out the liquid without disturbing the sediments at the bottom of the pot. Reserve the liquid.
- Discard one half shell from each mussel and arrange the mussels on a platter. Cover the mussels to keep them warm.
- Reduce the liquid and the cream to a slightly thick consistency and add the saffron and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning. Pour the sauce over the half shell mussels and serve immediately.
