Blue Hill Bay Mussels Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In the same pot, add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

4. 4

   Make the Tomato Broth

   Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and chicken broth to the pot. Stir in cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Add the Mussels

   Return the andouille sausage to the pot and add the mussels. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Stir in chopped parsley, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot with grilled bread on the side.
