Ingredients:

1/2 onion, chopped
1 stick celery, chopped
3 rashers bacon, cut into pieces
Few sprigs of fresh thyme
350ml beer
600g mussels, cleaned and de-bearded

Method:

1. Heat some oil in a heavy pan.

2. Fry the onion, celery, bacon and thyme leaves. Stir for a few minutes until the bacon is cooked, then add the mussels.

3. Add the beer and stir.

4. Cook for around 5 minutes or until the mussels open. If they do not open, don't eat them!
