Ingredients

Mussels and Spicy Tomato Confit

Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. Make the Spicy Tomato Confit

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add Tomatoes and Spices

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, harissa paste, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Cook the Mussels

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

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove the pot from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve the mussels hot with lemon wedges on the side.
