Sweet corn and smoky bacon make this broth feel generous and summery, while the mussels keep it briny and light enough to stay balanced.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 60 min

Ingredients

Fresh mussels – 2 kg
Bacon – 120 g, chopped
Onion – 1, chopped
Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
Corn kernels – 250 g
White wine – 200 ml
Cream – 150 ml
Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped
Black pepper – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Clean the mussels and keep them cold while you make the base.
STEP 2
Cook the bacon in a pot until it starts to brown and render fat. Add the onion and let it soften in that fat, then stir in the garlic.
STEP 3
Add the corn and cook for another minute so it picks up some of the smoky flavour.
STEP 4
Pour in the wine and bring it to the boil. Add the mussels, cover and steam until opened.
STEP 5
Stir in the cream and parsley and warm the broth through gently.
STEP 6
Serve in large bowls, making sure each portion gets bacon, corn and plenty of broth.
