Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any grit or sand. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and increase the heat to high. Allow the mussels to steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Once the mussels are open, stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
