Mussels and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the white wine vinegar, bay leaves, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine with Mussels

    Open the tinned mussels and drain any excess liquid. Add the mussels to the saucepan. Stir gently to coat the mussels in the marinade. Allow to simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Finishing Touches

    Remove from heat and stir in the chili flakes and chopped parsley. Let it cool to room temperature.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the mussels and marinade to a serving dish. Serve with crusty bread or crackers, if desired.
