and reduce heat Simmer until volume is reduce by 1/3. Add 1/2 of the corn
and return to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat Pass this mixture

much of the corn.) Return milled sauce to original pan, add cream and

stove, have warmed serving dishes ready.

Just as oil begin to smoke, add mussels and red pepper. Stir to coat all
pieces with peanut oil. Cover wok Once mussels begin to open, add corn
chowder, stir to coat, and cover. As most mussels begin to open, add
remaining fresh corn and stir again. Check seasoning, adlust if necessary,
stir again. Place mussels and chowder in bowls, dust with chopped parsley
and serve immediately. Do not cook mussels until all are opened or you will
overcook the rest Simply do not eat unopened mussels. Serve with warm
crusty bread/rolls.
