CLASSIC FRENCH MUSSELS
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mussels, wine, cream, butter, and parsley and season well with salt. Give it a good stir, cover the pot, and cook until mussels open and are cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the mussels and the juices between 2 bowls and serve with the crusty bread.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and shallots and cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and red pepper flakes, increase the heat to high and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushing them with your hands, and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain. Pile the parsley, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt on a cutting board and use a large knife to mince and mash them together.
- Add the mussels to the tomato sauce and stir to coat, then cover. As the mussels open (2 to 6 minutes), use tongs to transfer them to a bowl; discard any that do not open. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Add the parsley-garlic mixture and toss. Divide the pasta among bowls and top with the mussels.

Steps:
- In a large stock pot over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add the shallots, season with salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Remove fennel stalk and fronds from bulb; save for another use or discard. Cut bulb in half, then cut out and discard the core from each half. Slice fennel into a ½-inch dice and set aside.Using a knife to peel off the tough skin of the celery root; discard the skin. Slice celery root into a ½-inch dice. To the pot, add fennel, celery root, apple, and walnuts; stir to combine. Sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Turn off the heat; add the bread and raisins to the pot. Stack sage leaves, then roll like a cigar and thinly slice across to create fine ribbons of sage (also known as a "chiffonade"). Remove thyme leaves from the stem by pinching the tip of the sprig and pulling straight down. Add coriander, sage, and thyme leaves to the pot; season generously with more salt and pepper.
- Add milk a little at a time, and use your hands to gently combine all the ingredients after each addition. (If mixture is too hot, gently mix with wooden spatula or spoon until the stuffing cools.) Make sure each crouton is coated with milk, but not soggy. When enough of the milk has been added, allow the stuffing to rest, stirring occasionally, until the milk has fully absorbed, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter and preheat oven to 350 F.
- Transfer the dressing to the prepared baking dish and bake until browned and crispy, about 50-60 minutes.

Steps:
- PREPARATION: Raw mussels MUST be alive when you cook them, so careful preparation is key. Wash them under cold running water until it runs clear, and scrub if necessary. Pull the 'beard' away from each individual mussel - this is the byssus thread, a protein the mussel 'spins' so it can attach itself to rock or rope. Drain and then check; if the shell is tightly shut, this is a good indication that it's alive. If the mussel is open, tap it sharply for a few seconds - if it is alive, it will close. Discard any that appear to be dead as they can decompose very rapidly, and eating one that you aren't sure of is not worth the risk. Don't check them too far in advance; cook within a few minutes to be on the safe side.
- Heat the butter in a pan large enough to easily fit the mussels, then fry the bacon for 4 mins, turning occasionally until it starts becoming crisp. Throw in the shallots and thyme leaves, then cook for 1 min until softened. Whack the heat up to maximum and add the mussels to the pan, then pour over the cider. Place the lid on the pan, give it a good shake, then cook the mussels for 5-7 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that haven't.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the mussels into bowls and place the pan back on the heat. Bring the juices to the boil and stir in the crème fraîche, if using. Pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve with hunks of crusty bread for mopping up the sauce.
- COOKING TIPS: Mussels are most often steamed open over a small amount of flavoured liquid, as in Moules marinière, although they can also be oven roasted and are particularly good cooked 'en papillote' (in a bag). Wine, stock, beer and cider are all great for cooking mussels, but take care not to add salt to the liquid as mussel juice can be very salty. Drop the mussels into the liquid, cover with a tight-fitting lid, then cook until they have opened and the meat has settled into one side of the shell; this usually takes 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking as the meat shrivels and becomes tough. Check them all again before serving and discard any that haven't opened. If a mussel is unopened at this stage, this indicates that it was already dead. You will probably notice the colour of the meat varies between beige and orange. This is an indication of sex - beige for male and orange for female; there is no difference in flavour. Once cooked, mussels are usually lifted into a bowl and the cooking liquor is reduced by simmering. Pull the meat from one shell and then use that shell as a pincer to remove meat from the rest. Serve simply with crusty bread - lovely!

Steps:
- Clean the mussels and discard any that don't close when sharply tapped.
- Place the mussels in a large saucepan and cover with the wine. Cook for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, until the mussels are open.

- Melt half the butter in a pan over a low heat and add the shallots and garlic.

- Now add the tomatoes and cook until softened.
- Mash the flour and the remaining butter in a bowl, then add this mixture to the pan, piece by piece. At the same time, slowly add the mussel cooking liquid. If you find that the sauce is too thick, add a little water to loosen the mixture.
- Reheat the mussels in the sauce, then sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately with some crusty bread.
