Spiced Mussels in White Wine
Spring 2005
This dish is particularly good served with some great bread to sop up all the juices. The spicy sauce complements the sweetness of the mussels.

1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp (5 mL) mild curry powder
½ tsp (2 mL) fennel seeds
1 cup (250 mL) white wine
2 lb (1 kg) mussels
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
