Moules Marinieres

This mussel dish is traditionally served with French fries on the side. Start with a big saucepan, in which you bring 2 cups of light, dry wine to a boil, along with ½ cup minced shallots, 1 bay leaf, 6 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon thyme, ½ teaspoon pepper and a couple of fresh parsley leaves. Then add 6 quarts of cleaned mussels, cover with a lid and boil quickly over high heat. As soon as the mussels open, they're done!
