Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the blue fish mussels under cold water and remove any beards. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Then pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened up.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cream

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare Ciabatta

    While the mussels are simmering, grill the ciabatta bread on both sides until golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the blue fish mussels hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside the grilled ciabatta slices for dipping.
