Place the butter in the pan and quickly follow with the diced pancetta. Allow to sweat and render but do not get too much color.

Next add the shallot and garlic, agitate quite a bit, and allow the flavors to bloom. Add the cockles to the mixture. Stir to incorporate then deglaze with the white wine. Allow to reduce for 1 minute then add capers, mustard, whipping cream and fresh thyme, fully incorporate all.
