Coarsely chop the parsley. - Sauté the butter with the onions in a large enough casserole until they are translucent. Add the vegetables, thyme and laurel leaves, stirring. Add the mussels, cover the pot with a lid and put it on the highest heat. Keep moving the pot back and forth (shaking) so that the mussels open.
- Now add the beer to the mussels and immediately cover the pot again. After 3 - 4 minutes, add the sour cream. Season with pepper. Leave to simmer on a low heat for another 3-4 minutes, sprinkle with parsley and add salt to taste if necessary. Serve hot immediately, preferably with rice or fries. A cool beer goes well with this.
