Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Warm oil in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Add shallots and cook over low heat until soft but not brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in apple, lemon zest and thyme. Season with pepper. Add wine and bring to a simmer.

  2. Step 2

    Add mussels, cover and cook over medium heat until they open, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mussels to a bowl, leaving broth in saucepan. Some of the apple will cling to mussels; that's fine. Cover mussels.

  3. Step 3

    Stir butter and parsley into broth and bring back to a simmer. Spoon mussels into soup plates, ladle hot broth over and serve.
