Mussels and Brodo

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare 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

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped fennel, minced garlic, and diced shallots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the white wine and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer. Add fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the mussels and broth into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
