Steps:
- Put the olive oil and butter/margarine into a good sized frying pan (with a lid) and then fry, not too quickly, the chopped garlic and shallots.
- When the shallots and garlic are just transparent, (about two minutes), add the water, wine, bay leaf, parsley and mussels.
- Add ground pepper to taste and pour cream over the mussels.
- Cover pan with lid, over moderate to high heat.
- When liquid starts to steam, keep over the heat, constantly shaking the pan until all (or at least most) of the shells open.
- This will only take three, or four minutes.
- Do not overcook and avoid letting the liquid boil.
- You will hear the shells crack open and when most have opened, remove from heat.
- Too much cooking will only make them tough.
- Serve immediately (only the ones that opened) in bowls with plenty of sauce and crisp fresh bread.

Steps:
- Chop and reserve 1/4 cup fennel fronds. Peel and discard the outer layers from the bulb, then finely chop the bulb and coarsely chop the stems.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped fennel bulb, leek and garlic cloves. Cook until the fennel and leek are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the fennel stems, wine and Pernod. Cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 2 minutes.
- Add the mussels to the pot. Cover tightly and cook until most of the mussels have opened, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any remaining closed mussels). Transfer to a large bowl and cover loosely with foil.
- Heat the broiler. Strain the liquid in the pot through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, pressing down on the solids with a spoon. Add the stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the peas and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the crème fraîche, lemon zest, salt and chopped fennel fronds. Cover to keep warm.
- Drizzle the bread with oil and place it under the broiler until just golden, about 1 minute. Place a slice of bread into each of two bowls. Mound the mussels on top of the bread, then ladle the broth over everything.

Steps:
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and chorizo and saute for about 2 minutes. Then the celery, garlic, tomatoes, fennel and onions, and saute until tender but not too soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the mussels, and saute again until the mussels start to pop open. Add the clam juice and wine and cover the skillet. Steam the mussels until they open, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove any mussels that didn't open, and transfer the rest from the skillet to a serving bowl(s), leaving the liquid behind. Add the butter and simmer until the liquid reduces a bit, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the liquid over the mussels and serve with a delightful crusty bread.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use the freshest mussels you can find. They should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to clean the mussels and remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the mussels well under cold water.
- Use a large pot: Mussels will release a lot of liquid as they cook, so be sure to use a large pot that can accommodate them.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the mussels won't cook evenly. Cook the mussels in batches if necessary.
- Cook the mussels over high heat: This will help them to open quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery. Cook the mussels just until they are open, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as crusty bread, pasta, or rice.
Conclusion:
Mussels are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. This recipe for mussels with cream, fennel, and white wine is a classic that is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion.
