Leeks With Bacon And Thyme
Instructions
Heat half the butter in a large heavy pan and fry the bacon for a few minutes until beginning to brown.
Add the leeks and thyme then cook gently for about 4 minutes until they're soft.
Turn the heat up to high.
Add the wine and the mussels.
Cover and cook for around 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to distribute the mussels.
When they have opened, they are cooked.
Remove them with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.
Add the other half of the butter to the cooking juices and boil for about a minute until bubbling.
Pour over the mussels and serve immediately with crusty bread to mop up the juices.
