Shellfish

Broth

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Shellfish

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broth

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and canned crushed tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

  4. 6

    Add Shellfish

    Add the cleaned mussels and clams to the pot. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until all the shells have opened.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Once the shellfish have opened, remove from heat. Serve immediately in bowls with the broth ladled over the top.
