Instructions

Step 1

Discard any mussels that are open before cooking and any that stay closed after cooking.

Step 2

Place a large pot over a high heat and brown the pancetta pieces until just golden and sizzling.

Step 3

Add in a knob of butter, allow it to melt and then add the onion and garlic. Cook gently for three minutes until the onion is soft.

Step 4

Add in the cider and allow to bubble away for a few minutes so all the flavours mingle in together. Tumble in the mussels, cover with a lid and allow them to steam for about four minutes until they open, making sure to give the pot a good shake once or twice during the cooking time.

Step 5

Remove from the heat and stir in the cream and parsley and season with sea salt and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Serve with some crusty bread to mop up the liquid!
