Mussels Marinara Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, removing any beards and discarding any that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Wine

    Stir in the tomato sauce, white wine, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

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

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley, serve the mussels with the sauce, and garnish with lemon wedges.
