About £1.32 a plate if you bought it all. Less with what you've already got.

You'll need
- Mussels1kg
- White wine (for cooking)150ml
- Garlic3 cloves
- Onions1
- Double cream100ml
- Parsley15g
- Bread4 slices
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Rinse the mussels (1kg) in cold water. Throw away any that are cracked or stay open when tapped.
- Soften the onion (1) and garlic (3 cloves) in butter in a big pan (4 min).
Kitchen note Take your time with onions. Low heat and a pinch of salt for a good 8 to 10 minutes until soft and sweet. Rushed onions stay sharp and crunchy.
- Turn the heat up, add the wine and mussels, lid on, shake the pan now and then until they open (5 min).
- Stir in the cream (100ml) and parsley (15g). Bin any that stay shut. Lots of bread (4 slices) for the juice.
Kitchen note Take the pan off the heat a little before you stir in cream or crème fraîche so it doesn't split.
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
