Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shellfish

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

  4. 4

    Deglaze and Add Broth

    Pour in the white wine and clam broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook the Shellfish

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the mussels and clams. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open.

  6. 6

    Add Basil

    Once cooked, stir in the chopped fresh basil and remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the mussels and clams in a bowl with the broth, garnished with additional basil if desired.
