1 onion, diced
1 head of fennel, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
½ tsp dried chilli flakes

1 tin of Coles white beans
1 kg cleaned mussels
½ bunch parsley

Method
In a large saucepan, sweat off the onion and fennel. When they begin to soften, add in the garlic and chilli, cook for another minute.
Add in the white wine, stock and beans, bring up to a boil.
Add in the mussels and cover with a lid. Cook until the mussels pop open, once opened, remove and place in a serving bowl. Continue until the mussels are open.
Into the sauce, add some butter and mix in. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking. Turn off the heat, add in the lemon and parsley.
Serve the mussels family-style in a large bowl. Add the bread to mop up the sauce.
