A Breton-style cider broth is slightly fruitier than a white wine version and fits mussels beautifully, especially with a little butter at the end.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 25 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 2 kg
Shallots – 3, finely chopped
Butter – 40 g
Dry cider – 300 ml
Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped
Black pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Clean the mussels and leave them ready by the stove.
STEP 2
Cook the shallots in half of the butter until soft and sweet.
STEP 3
Add the cider, bring it to a boil and then add the mussels. Cover the pot and steam until opened.
STEP 4
Swirl in the remaining butter at the end for shine and extra flavour, then stir in the parsley.
STEP 5
Serve immediately while the broth is still lively and hot.
