🧅🥕INGREDIENTS🥕🧅
2 kg fresh mussels
150 ml of dry white wine
50 ml cream (plus 1 tablespoon to mix with the egg yolk)
100 grams shallot ( divided in 2 time 50 grams)
a quarter teaspoon saffron threads (or half a teaspoon or more good quality curry powder)
1 bay leaf
2 parsley stokes
2 twigs of fresh thyme
1 egg yolk
50 grams butter ( divided in 2 time 25 grams)
10 grams flour (or 20 grams if you want a really thick sauce)
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley to decorate
black pepper to season.

cooking note: you can replace the saffron by curry powder.
If you had more flour don't reduce the sauce as much.

In my opinion:
For a better look and gain of time skip the broiling at the end.
do have a good bread and a good white wine to drink this with.
serving on small individual plate with 6 to 8 mussels per plate is easier and less messy then using a large dish or plate with all the mussels at once.
