Mussels and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrub the shells, and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Mussels

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

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley and beurre blanc sauce. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
