Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids and Tomato

    Pour in the white wine and clam juice, then add the diced tomato. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and allow to steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the mussels in bowls with the broth, and enjoy with crusty bread.
