Preparation steps
1.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and sauté the cockles and mussels briefly. Pour in the wine, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shells open up. Throw away any that do not open up. Transfer to a bowl and reserve the cooking liquid.
2.
Remove about half of the cockles and mussels from the shells.

Heat the butter in a large pan and fry the bacon in it. Add the vegetables, thyme and bay leaf and cook for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over everything, mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the saffron and milk. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Right before serving, return the cockles and mussels to the pot and stir in the creme fraiche. Serve in shallow bowls.
