Ingredients

rapeseed or olive oil 3 tbsp
garlic 3 cloves, finely sliced
fennel 1 bulb, finely sliced (keep the fronds)
mussels 1 kg, cleaned and debearded
white wine 250ml
sea salt flakes
lemon 1, cut into wedges
crusty bread to serve

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large, deep, lidded pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and fennel, and fry for 7-8 minutes or until soft, taking care not to burn the garlic. Add the mussels, wine and a good pinch of salt. Increase the heat to high and put on the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that don’t open and serve with big lemon wedges, the reserved fennel fronds and crusty bread for mopping up the juices.
