Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Remove any beards and 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 minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced cherry peppers and halved cherry tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften.

  4. 4

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
