Ingredients

Method

2kg pot-ready Australian Mussels
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 ½ cups white wine
1 cup crème fraiche
¼ cup parsley leaves finely chopped
Toasted sourdough to serve

First up, remove the mussels from their packaging and place in a colander, give them a quick rinse with fresh tap water and leave to drain for 5 minutes
In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat, then chuck in the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add in the wine and crème fraiche, and simmer for 5 minutes
Now for the business end. Add the mussels and pop on the lid for 5 minutes. Now, give ‘em a stir and put the lid back on for another 5, or until most of the mussels have opened
At the last minute toss in the parsley and stir through. Serve with warm toasted sourdough and lashings of butter. Prepare yourself for praise and serious brownie points. De-lish
