MOUCLADE – main dish Ingredients: 2 kg mussels 4 baby leeks 2 cloves garlic 500 ml white wine 2 teaspoons curry powder 125 ml double cream
Method Soak the mussels in some clean, cold water and - if they haven't been dealt with in the shop - sort through them, debearding, and knocking off any barnacles with the back of a small knife.
… Take a large pan with a lid. Add the sliced baby leeks sliced garlic, white wine and curry powder, and bring to the boil.
… Tip the mussels into a colander, discarding any that haven't closed, and tumble the rest into the pan and cook on a high heat for about 3 minutes. Shake the pan around as they are cooking.
… When you lift the lid, the mussels should have opened. Discard any that haven't. Add the double cream, and then turn into a bowl to serve, or take the pan straight to the table.
MOUSSE - dessert Ingredients: 300g dark chocolate 3 eggs 55g caster sugar 1 tbsp cocoa powder 300ml cream
Method Put the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted. Remove bowl from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
… Place eggs and sugar in a large bowl and beat with electric beaters for 5 minutes. Fold in cooled chocolate and cocoa powder.
… In a separate bowl, whip cream until thickened (be careful not to over-beat). Use a large metal spoon to carefully fold the cream into the chocolate mixture, trying to keep the mixture as light as possible.
… Spoon into 6 serving glasses and chill in fridge for at least 1 hour. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving, then top with extra whipped cream and grated chocolate to serve.
