Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water and use a brush to scrub the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Italian Sausage

    Remove the casings from the Italian sausage and crumble the sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Sausage

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the crumbled Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine 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.

  4. 6

    Finish with Parsley

    Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
