Moules marinières is probably one of the simplest French dishes to cook if you’re lazy or in a hurry. Start by throwing a thick slice of butter into a big pot.
Dice up an onion
Add onions to pot and turn up the heat, stirring until onions are soft, adding in some bay leaves and thyme later on
The mussels, cleaned and debearded. Chuck them into the pot, pour in a glass of wine and cover.
After about 2-3 minutes, the mussels will be ready to eat!
Serve with a side of nice rustic warm bread

Nothing nicer than using one of the shells to pull the muscle out of the others and slurp them down. We introduced our kids to them some years ago at a night market in the Loire Valley where we ate outdoor with what seemed to be the entire village at long benches. We had french fries and muscadet to complete this french classic. Wonderful times.
