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.
