Authentic Conwy Mussels in Cider

Clean and debeard fresh Conwy mussels. Sauté sliced leeks in butter in a large pot.

Pour in dry Welsh cider and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover tightly, and steam for 3-5 minutes until they pop open.

Stir in a generous glug of double cream and a handful of fresh parsley.

Discard any unopened mussels and serve with plenty of crusty bread.

A legendary seafood specialty from the historic harbor town of Conwy.
