Mussels and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread butter on the sliced baguette and place it on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mussels

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Add the Mussels

    Add the cleaned PEI mussels to the pot. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped basil and parsley. Allow the sauce to cook for an additional minute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the mussels in bowls with the arrabbiata sauce, topped with pickled fennel, and accompanied by the toasted baguette.
