Steps:

• First, make the garlic butter. Blitz all the ingredients in a food processor, then set aside. The butter can be made ahead and chilled in the fridge for up to five days. Toast one side of each sourdough slice under the grill. Spread the other side thickly with the butter and place under the grill again until the butter is bubbling. Turn off the grill and keep the toasts warm.
• Heat the oil and butter over a medium heat in a large pan with a lid. Add the parsley stalks, bay leaf, shallot and ½ tsp pepper, and sweat for a few mins until the shallots are softening and fragrant. Add the mussels and white wine, stir, cover tightly with a lid and steam for 2-3 mins until all the mussels have opened.
• Spoon into bowls, pour over the pan juices, scatter over some chopped parsley and serve with the toasts.

Steps:

• Make Lemon Butter Sauce as follows:.
• Melt 4 tbsp of the butter over low heat.
• When melted, remove from heat and set aside for several minutes to allow the milk solids to settle to the bottom.
• Skim the clear (clarified) butter from the top and discard sediment. (This can be done ahead.).
• Now make the sauce for the Mussels:.
• Heat clarified butter.
• Add onion and garlic and saute until transparent.
• Add lemon juice and white wine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes to reduce liquid.
• Remove from heat and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons cold butter until sauce is smooth and emulsified.
• Soak mussels in cold water for several minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and remove "beard" (the little tuft of fibers protruding from the shell), either with a sharp knife or by pulling on it with a damp cloth.
• Rinse mussels again in cold water.
• Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet; add mussels.
• Cover with another 10-inch skillet or lid and cook until shells begin to open, about 2 minutes.
