Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or barnacles. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion, red bell pepper, and julienne the carrot. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.

  3. 5

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot along with the white wine vinegar, water, crushed black pepper, bay leaves, and salt. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up.

  4. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Once the mussels are opened, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
