fire. Paired with a rustic sauce, they create a beautiful starter that delights the taste buds.

Directions
Start a wood fire or use a combination of charcoal and wood, preparing
the grill for direct grilling at high heat, about 650°F.
Combine the first six ingredients in a wide skillet and bring to a simmer
over medium heat on the cooktop. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until
thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in the cream immediately before
grilling the mussels and turn off the heat.
Grill the mussels over the hottest part of the fire, turning occasionally.
They should open within 2 minutes. Continue cooking for 1 more minute
after they open.
Serve the mussels over the sauce.
