Wash mussels under cold running water to remove all traces of dirt, seaweed
and barnacles. Remove beards. Discard any broken mussels. Tap any open
mussels; if they do not close, discard them. Prepare mussels just before
cooking.
In a large fry pan with a cover, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Saute shallots and garlic until transparent. Add wine, water, parsley,
thyme, bay leaves, pepper and mussels. Pour cream over top. Cover and
bring to a boil. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, for about 4 minutes or
until shells open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Serve immediately
in deep bowls garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
