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 Bacon

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and let it cool, then chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot with the sautéed tomatoes and garlic. Pour in the white wine and stir gently.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let the mussels cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  3. 6

    Add Gorgonzola and Bacon

    Once the mussels are cooked, sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and the chopped bacon over the top. Stir gently to combine and allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately in bowls with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
