2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and gently fry the onion, potatoes and pepper for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
2. Add the mussels and the fish stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels from the pan and take them out of their shells. Discard all that remain unopened. Keep a few in their shells for a garnish and set aside.\u00a0Return the shelled mussels to the pan.<\/p>\n
4. Mix the cornflour with a little water to form a thin paste, and whisk into the pan, bringing the liquid back to the boil. Stir until the chowder thickens slightly.<\/p>\n
5. Serve in warmed bowls with the reserved mussels in their shells, sprinkled with fresh parsley.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to Morrisons for kindly allowing me to reproduce their fishmonger’s recipe.<\/h5>\n
