Mussels and Broth

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove any beards from the mussels.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the Italian butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the roasted tomatoes and white wine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

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

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with focaccia on the side to soak up the broth.
