Preparation

Scrub and rinse the mussels carefully, discarding any that are open or have broken shells. Finely slice the shallots.

Gently crush the fennel seeds with a pestle and mortar.

Add the mussels, shallots, thyme, parsley, bay, crushed fennel seeds, lemon peel and white wine to a large cooking pot. Cover and cook on a high heat for 6 minutes. Give the pot a good shake from time to time, keeping the lid closed, to thoroughly mix the contents.

Once the mussels have all opened, add the butter and cook for 2 more minutes on a gentle heat. Mix well and serve in soup plates with the juice. Enjoy!
