Peri Peri Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

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

   Make the Broth

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the Liquid

   Pour in the vegetable broth and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. 4

   Cook the Mussels

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up. Discard any that do not open.

5. 5

   Roast the Tomatoes

   While the mussels are cooking, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the mussels are cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the mussels in bowls with the chili lime broth, topped with roasted tomatoes, and a side of warm baguette.
