Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Soak Fresh Mussels (2.2 lb) in cold water for 30 minutes. Once soaked clean the beards off them.
step 2
Chop Spring Onion (1 bunch) and mince Garlic (1 clove).
step 3
Drain the mussels and place into a solid steam oven tray. Pour the Dry White Wine (2/3 cup) and Fish Stock (1 cup) over the mussels and add the washed and finely chopped spring onions, followed by the Bay Leaves (2 pieces), Peppercorns (1 tsp) and garlic.
step 4
Put the tray on level 2 on "Full Steam" in the steam oven. Cook the mussels at 100 degrees C (210 degrees F) for 20 minutes until all the mussels open.
step 5
Remove the tray from the oven and drain the liquid from the mussels into a saucepan. Keep the mussels warm while making the sauce.
step 6
Add the Saffron Threads (5) to the drained liquid and bring to a boil and reduce by approximately a third. Add the Heavy Cream (1 Tbsp), Butter (1 1/2 Tbsp) and Fresh Cilantro (4 sprigs) to the reduced liquid.
step 7
Place the mussels in a suitable serving dish, pour over the sauce and garnish with chopped coriander.
