Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic to the pot with the pancetta and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Pilsner

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, pilsner beer, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover the pot and steam the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened up.

  6. 6

    Finish with Scallions and Parmesan

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the sliced scallions and grated Parmesan cheese.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Mussels

    Ladle the mussels and broth into bowls, ensuring to include the pancetta and tomatoes. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and serve with crusty bread.
