Mussels in Cream (Ireland)
Mussels in Cream is a traditional dish of Irish origin and is particularly popular in Donegal and Cork. Although there are many variations of this simple dish, it is usually made with a combination of cleaned and beardless mussels, butter, cream, flour, salt, and pepper.
The mussels are heated in a pan until their shells open and the unopened mussels are discarded. A roux is made from butter and flour and then mixed with some water and heavy cream until the sauce thickens. The sauce is seasoned with salt and pepper and mixed with the mussels.
Before serving, the plate is thoroughly mixed to cover the mussels with the sauce.
