METHOD

1

Heat oil in a large pan on medium heat, sauté the onion for a few minutes until translucent but do not brown it. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring to prevent the garlic from burning.

2

Pour in the stock and bring it to a boil; reduce it to a simmer for 5 minutes or until the stock has reduced by half. Add the cream, season to taste with salt and pepper, and add the lemon juice.

3

Add the mussels to the pan and cover with a lid. Allow the mussels to cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the dill and lemon zest. Serve topped with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.
