Ingredients for 4 servings
Preparation
Start by peeling the potatoes and trimming the green beans. Steam them until tender.
Thinly slice the shallot and sauté in a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan. Season with pepper, add the white wine, and simmer for 4-6 minutes until reduced.
Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Add to the pan, cover, and cook until all have opened. Discard any unopened ones.
Peel the onion and slice into thin rings. Finely chop the chives.
Slice the steamed potatoes thinly and tear the ham into strips.
Drain the mussels, reserving the cooking juices. Cool slightly, then shell them.
In 4 wide bowls, arrange the green beans, potato slices, ham strips, and onion rings. Top with mussels, drizzle with reserved juice, and sprinkle with chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
