1. Throw away any broken mussels or open ones that don't close after a tap on the sink.
2. Melt a large knob of butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion and garlic for a minute or 2 until transparent and soft.
3. Turn up the heat, tip in the mussels with a good slosh of wine then cover and cook for 3 minutes or until all the shells have opened - throw away any that don't.
4. Pour in the cream and stir well, throw in the coriander, season and serve in large bowls.

  Very tasty would definately do this again but I would use double cream for a thicker sauce next time I made this, but very nice enjoyed by all.

  A really easy and quick dish which the children loved too. I did use double cream for the sauce and it was lovely. Served with crusty bread or chips, Yum.
