Ingredients

Ingredients for Zuppa Di Mussels

Preparation

Cooking Directions for Zuppa Di Mussels

1. Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the Liquid

For white sauce, pour in the dry white wine. For red sauce, add the crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.

4. Cook the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

5. Season and Serve

Stir in the chopped parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
