1tbsp Olive Oil
115g/4oz Rindless, Streaky Bacon, chopped
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Garlic Clove, crushed

500g/1lb 2oz Potatoes, peeled and cubed

75ml/3 fl oz Double Cream
150g/5 ˝ oz Frozen Peas or Petit Pois
115g/4oz Edam cheese, cut into small cubes
3tbsp freshly chopped Chives

Instructions


1. Place the mussels in a large pan, pour over the wine (or water if preferred), cover and cook for approximately 4 minutes until all the mussels are open. Drain and reserve the liquid. When cool enough to handle remove the mussels from their shells.


2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the bacon for 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute.


3. Pour in the stock and reserved mussel liquid and bring to the boil. Add the potatoes and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir in the haddock and cook for a further 3 minutes.


4. Pour in the cream, petit pois, mussels and warm through.


5. Stir in the Edam and chives and season to taste. Pour into warm serving bowls and serve with crusty bread.

Lesley’s Tips
• If not keen on mussels then replace with your favourite fish such as cod, Pollock or salmon. Simply leave out stage one and add a splash of white wine to the stock.
• Replace the peas or petit-pois with sweetcorn or use both!
