Let’s make something delicious

  • Step one

    Over a medium heat, add the bacon to large pan and cook until it starts to turn golden.

  • Step two

    Lower the heat and add the leeks. Cover with a lid and sweat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft but not coloured. Sprinkle a little flour over the leeks and stir through, cooking for another couple of minutes.

  • Step three

    Pour over the wine and cook on high for a couple of minutes to reduce the liquid, then add the fish stock and cream. Bring to the boil and season well, then add the mussel meat and cook for a further couple of minutes until piping hot. 

  • Step four

    To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with the parsley. Perfect for dunking chunks of buttery brown bread!
