Creamy mussels

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add saffron, if desired, and wine; bring to a boil. Add mussels, cover with a lid, and cook, stirring once, until mussels open, about 3 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked mussels to a plate and cover. Pour the liquid into a bowl, discard any grit, then return the liquid to the saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add cream and boil until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Divide mussels into 4 portions. Add the cream sauce and serve hot.
