MUSSELS WITH SAFFRON CREAM
Steps:
- Cut onion halves crosswise into less than 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer.
- Cook onion with saffron and 1/2 teaspoon salt in oil in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add wine and bring to a boil, then stir in cream, pepper, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mussels. Cook, covered, checking after 6 minutes and transferring opened mussels to soup bowls with a slotted spoon. (Discard any that remain unopened after 8 minutes.)
- Stir parsley into broth and pour over mussels.
MUSSELS WITH SAFFRON MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- For the mayonnaise, soak the saffron in 1 tablespoon of hot water in a small bowl for 5 minutes. Whisk in the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the mussels, combine the fleur de sel and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside. Heat a large, dry (12-inch) cast iron skillet over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until very hot. Add the mussels in a single layer and cook them for one minute, until they start to open. Add the wine and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mussels are fully opened and just cooked. (Discard any that don't open.) Off the heat, sprinkle the mussels generously with the salt and pepper mixture. Serve hot from the skillet with individual bowls of saffron mayonnaise for dipping.

Steps:
- Holding mussels under cool running water, scrub with a stiff sponge or vegetable brush, then debeard: grip the tough fibers extending from the shell and pull to remove. Discard beards.
- Steep saffron in wine for 10 minutes. (Saffron is soluble in water, not fat, so it won't release its color or flavor if added directly to the butter.) Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-high heat in a shallow stockpot. Once it's foamy, add shallots, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until shallots are transparent and garlic is soft, about 3 minutes, stirring every so often to keep garlic from scorching. Pour in wine and saffron, then add tomatoes and return to a simmer, stirring once or twice.
- Add mussels and cover tightly. Cook until all mussels open, about 6 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. Discard any unopened mussels. If using wild mussels, strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove any sand, if necessary. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with parsley before ladling mussels and broth into bowls.

Steps:
- Steam mussels in wine until shells open. When cool enough to handle, remove mussels from shells and place in bowl. Cover with 1 cup of cooking liquid. Reserve enough half shells for number of mussels you have and refrigerate in plastic bag.
- In small bowl, using a whisk, beat egg yolk with vinegar and mustard. Season with generous pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Secure bowl on towel, potholder or rubber mat so it does not slide and, beating continuously, dribble in oil in thin stream. Mixture will gradually thicken to mayonnaise. If you are reluctant to make mayonnaise by hand you can use food processer but ingredients must be doubled for it to work, yielding twice as much mayonnaise as needed for recipe. Alternately, you can use 3/4 of cup of commercial mayonnaise.
- To make saffron seasoning, bring to boil 1/2 cup of cooking liquid that mussels were sitting in and pour 1 1/2 tablespoons over saffron in small dish. Allow saffron to steep for 15 minutes, then strain hot liquid into mayonnaise and mix well.
- Drain mussels well and mix with saffron mayonnaise. Just before serving, spoon mussel with sauce onto each half shell. You should have enough mussels to serve about 8 to each guest.
