Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Discard any mussels that do not close to the touch. In a mussel pot or large pot over medium to low heat, heat the olive oil with the butter until hot but not yet smoking. Add the onion, garlic and saffron, and cook until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the bay leaf, red pepper flakes, and wine, increase heat to medium-high and cook for about 2 minutes.
  2. If using a regular pot, add the mussels. If using a mussel pot, place the wire grate in the pot and add the mussels. Scatter the parsley over the mussels and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, shaking the pot once or twice, until the mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
  3. Serve the mussels directly from the pot at the table or spoon the mussels into 4 warmed bowls. Spoon the broth over the mussels. Serve with French fries or French bread.
