Ingredients

Topping

Method

  • Scrub the mussels and check that they are tightly closed or close when tapped. Discard any shells that do not close.
  • Finely chop shallots, garlic, and thyme, and sauté in oil in a large pot.
  • Add white wine and bring to a boil.
  • Add the mussels and cook over high heat until the shells open, about 3 minutes. Shake the pot a few times during cooking.
  • Discard any mussels that do not open.
  • Clean the shells, leaving some of the shell intact. Place the mussels in a serving dish.
  • Bring the mussel broth to a boil, add cream, and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and possibly a little more garlic, then blend with an immersion blender.

Topping

  • Scald the tomato by making a cross cut on the top, immersing it in boiling water for a few minutes, then transferring it to cold water. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and cut the flesh into cubes.
  • Slice the bacon, and finely chop garlic, chili, and parsley.
  • Cook the bacon and garlic, and add chili and green beans towards the end.
  • Stir in tomatoes and parsley, then pour the mixture over the mussels in the dish.
  • Serve the mussels topped with the sauce.
