Classic Belgian dish of mussels cooked with a twist. Beer, garlic and cream, cooked from a stove on the beach. Great for sharing.

Step 1.
Wash the mussels well and discard any that don’t close when tapped. Remove the beards.
Step 2.
Tie the bay, thyme and rosemary together with butcher’s twine to make a bouquet garni.
Step 3.
Place a large pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Finely chop and add the remaining leek, onion and garlic along with the bouquet garni and cook for a few minutes until soft.
Step 4.
Turn the heat up high, add the mussels and the beer and put a lid on the pan. Cook for 3 mins, shaking the pan occasionally.
Step 5.
