Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare Mussels

Rinse mussels under cold water to clean. Remove any beards and discard any open mussels that don't close when tapped.

2

Cook Leeks and Speck

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic, sauté until soft. Stir in diced speck and cook until slightly crispy.

3

Add Mussels and Liquids

Pour in dry sherry and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and cook for about 5 minutes until mussels open.

4

Make Cream Sauce

Remove the lid, stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

5

Toast Herb Bread

While the mussels are cooking, toast the herb bread slices until golden brown.

6

Serve

Garnish mussels with chopped parsley and serve with herb toast on the side.
