Method

1.In a large pot, [sauté the fennel and carrots](https://www.foodtolove.co.nz/how-to-saute-the-right-way-1549|target=”_blank”) in oil for 10 minutes.
2.Scrub the mussels clean and [pull out the beards](https://www.foodtolove.co.nz/how-to-prepare-mussels-1438|target=”_blank”) if they release easily. Leave the hard ones as they can be pulled out once the mussels are cooked.
3.When the vegetables have softened, add the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Tumble the mussels in, cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the shells have sprung open. Put the mussels into a serving bowl. Pour the cream into the cooking liquor left over in the pot, and simmer until slightly thickened.
4.Spoon the vegetables and creamy sauce over the mussels, then sprinkle some parsley on and serve. Yum!

Add in cockles and pipis if you have them. Try using sour cream instead of fresh.
