Mussel Saganaki

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

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the skillet, followed by the cherry tomatoes and white wine. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open.

  4. 4

    Add Feta and Season

    Once the mussels have opened, crumble the feta cheese over the top, add red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Squeeze lemon juice over the mixture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussel saganaki hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
