| 1. Scrape and clean the mussels thoroughly, then put them in a wide, deep pan with the wine, shallots and parsley. | 2. Cook over medium heat until the mussels have opened. | 3. Drain the mussels when they have cooled down a little, but reserve the liquid. | 4. Shell them and chop them finely. | 5. Chop the onion and celery finely and cook them gently in 30 g (1 oz.) butter until translucent. | 6. Strain the mussel liquid, add 2 tb of it to the vegetables, and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated. | 7. In another pan, make a roux with 30 g (1 oz.) of butter and 1 tb of flour, add 1 dl (3,3 fl. oz.) of the mussel liquid and 2 dl (6,6 fl. oz.) warm milk, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is smooth and thick. | 8. Add the chopped mussels, onion and celery to the sauce and beat in gradually 3 egg yolks and the lemon juice. | 9. Check the seasoning, bring gently to the boil, then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a little. | 10. Pour the mixture onto a cold slab or a very large plate, allow to go thoroughly cold, then cut the paste into egg-sized pieces. | 11. Beat the egg whites until very stiff. | 12. Roll each egg-sized bit of paste in your hands and shape into oval patties. | 13. Roll these in flour, dip them into the egg whites, roll in breadcrumbs, and fry in oil until golden and crisp. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
