INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and sort the mussels, pulling off any pieces of protruding beard.
Combine the wine, shallots, bay leaf, and thyme in a 10-quart pot and
bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then
add the mussels, cover the pot, and turn the heat up to high. When
steam starts to shoot out from under the lid, turn the heat back down
to medium. Leave the pot on the heat for 5 minutes more. Leave the  lid
on the pot and holding down the lid with a kitchen towel- shake  pot to
redistribute the mussels. Put the pot back on the heat for 2  minutes
more. Take off the lid and check to see if all the mussels  have
opened. If not, replace the lid and cook for 2 minutes more.  Remove
the lid, wait a minute for the steam to dissipate, scoop the  mussels
out of the pot with a large spoon or skimmer, and place them  in hot
bowls, discarding any unopened mussels. If the liquid in the  bottom of
the pan is sandy, carefully pour it into a clean saucepan,  leaving any
sand or grit behind. Add the chopped parsley to the ho t  broth, whisk
in the butter if desired, and season with pepper. Heat  the broth for a
1or 2 and ladle it over the hot mussels. Serve slices  of crusty bread
at the table.  Yield: 8 servings  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving:
