Steamed Mussels Bowl with fresh thyme

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, lemon, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the steamed mussels, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the tahini along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a grating of hard cheese and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
