Bread and with water is a combination that is easy to prepare. This dish is perfect for those who love seafood but want an uncomplicated recipe. It is a simple meal that can be made in less than an hour, providing a satisfying meal without fuss.

To begin, one needs to prepare the ingredients. For this recipe, one would need a loaf of bread, a pound of fresh mussels, a small onion, two cloves of garlic, a teaspoon of dried thyme, a bay leaf, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

The first step is ing the mussels. Rinse the mussels in cold water, and discard any that are open or do not close when tapped. Pull off any beards that might be found on the mussels and scrub the shells clean with a brush.

In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt, then stir for another few minutes.

Next, add a cup of water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover it with a lid. Cook until all the mussels have opened. This process should take roughly five minutes. Discard any mussels that did not open.

While the mussels are cooking, slice bread into thick slices and set them aside. Brush each side of the bread with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

When the mussels are cooked, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon, leaving the broth behind. Discard any mussels that did not open. Keep the mussels warm by covering them with foil in a separate dish.

Now, the broth that the mussels were cooked in can be used to make a sauce. Strain the broth to remove any grit or debris. Return the liquid to the pot and reduce it by half, over medium heat, for about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the dish, place the toasted bread on a large plate, add the mussels on top, and pour the reduced broth over the mussels. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

The dish is versatile and can be paired with a variety of side dishes. One could serve it with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or even with sautéed potatoes.
