Island Mussels With Wild Mushrooms and Cream

I love this recipe, I have a love for mussels, and also for mushrooms, so the combination of the two are just the best for me - Try it, you'll like it I'm sure!!

Ingredients

• 4  lbs mussels

• 1  cup  sliced  wild mushroom (Shiitake, Portobello, Oyster, can be fresh or dried and reconstituted)
• 1  cup  light cream (18%)

Directions

1. Scrub mussels gently but thoroughly in cool, running water; remove the beard by pulling with a quick yank or cutting close to the shell with scissors.
2. In a large pot or kettle, melt butter;' add onion and mushrooms, and sauté 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add mussels and cream; cover and cook until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open. Spoon mussels and sauce into 4 individual serving dishes.
