MUSSELS STEAMED IN WINE BROTH
To serve 4 as a first course
4 dozen large mussels in their shells
4 tablespoons butter cut into small bits, plus 1/2 pound butter, melted
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup water
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme

   Scrub the mussels thoroughly under cold running water with a stiff brush or soap-less steel-mesh scouring pad. With a small, sharp knife scrape or pull the black hair-like tufts off the shells and discard them.

   In a 6- to 8-quart enameled or stainless-steel casserole, melt the butter bits over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the onions and, stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent but not brown. Stir in the wine, water, parsley and thyme. Drop in the mussels and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to low and let the mussels steam for about 10 minutes, turning the mussels about once or twice with a slotted spoon. When the mussels have steamed the allotted time, all the shells should have opened; discard any that remain shut.

   With a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large, heated platter or individual serving plates. Strain the broth into a bowl, using a fine sieve lined with a double thickness of dampened cheesecloth. Pour the broth into 4 heated soup cups and serve the melted butter separately in individual bowls on the side.

   To eat a steamed mussel, remove it from the shell with a small fork (or you can use one of the mussel shells to pull the mussel out), dip it into the broth to moisten the mussel and remove any traces of sand, and then immerse it in the melted butter.
