Start by thoroughly cleaning the mussels under cold water, removing any seaweed and impurities.
In a large pot, melt a bit of butter and finely sauté an onion until it becomes translucent.
Then add the mussels to the pot and pour in the white wine to help them open.
Cover and let cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until all the mussels have opened.
Then incorporate the thick cream and gently mix to coat the mussels in the creamy preparation.
Let simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes for the flavors to blend perfectly.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve hot with a bit of fresh parsley if desired.
