Servings: persons

3 1/2 lbs live mussels
1 cup water (scant)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh parsley
3 garlic cloves, sliced
4 ounces leeks, thinly sliced
14 ounces potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
fresh ground black pepper

1
Wash the mussels in plenty of cold water, pulling away the hairy beards as you go. Discard any that are not closed or do not close when tapped sharply with a knife. Bring the water and white wine to a boil in a large pan.
2
Add the herb sprigs and garlic and simmer for 1 minute.
3
Add the mussels, bring to a vigorous boil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they have all opened.
4
Discard any mussels that have not opened. Immediately drain into a colander, catching all the juices in a bowl underneath.
5
Strain the juices through a fine sieve into a clean pan and add the leeks and potatoes. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
6
While the potatoes are cooking, pull the mussels from their shells. Save a few of the shells for garnish.
7
To serve, add the mussels and chopped parsley to the potato broth and warm thoroughly. Check and adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve in warmed bowls garnished with a few nice shells.
