Mussels in White Wine And Herbs Preparation

Wash mussels under cold running water to remove all traces of dirt, seaweed and barnacles. Remove beards. Discard any broken mussels. Tap any open mussels; if they do not close, discard them. Prepare mussels just before cooking. In a large fry pan with a cover, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Saute shallots and garlic until transparent. Add wine, water, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, pepper and mussels. Pour cream over top. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until shells open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Serve immediately in deep bowls garnished with parsley and lemon wedges. For a lighter presentation, omit the cream and substitute 2 ripe tomatoes (peeled, seeded and chopped). Yield 4 servings.

Wonderful taste - very similar to traditional Dutch mussels. I added a rib of celery as we both like it, but almost any herb or vegetable can be added.
