Mussels in a Garlic Wine Sauce

This recipe was beyond simple, and cheap! 

Ingredients:

1 pound of mussels (scrubbed)

1/2 to 1 tb olive oil

1 small onion or 1 shallot diced

1 clove of garlic

1 ½ cups of wine

2 tbsp cream

 

 

 

• Dice the onion/shallot
• Put a pot with a lid on the heat
• Fry the onion in the olive oil for about five minutes until soft and golden
• Grate or chop the garlic and add to the pan for about a minute
• Pour in the wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan
• Tip in the mussels and put the lid on
• Steam on a medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally for 6 – 8 minutes
• Pour in the cream, stir to heat through, then serve the mussels in bowls, with bread to mop up the sauce. 

If the mussels aren't open when the dish is done cooking throw them away.  Hope you all enjoy!
