Mussels
Spicy Matchstick Frites
Method
Cooking the Mussels
Add Tomatoes and Wine
Stir in diced tomatoes and white wine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cook the Mussels
Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.
Finish and Season
Stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Making the Frites
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the matchstick potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
Bake the Frites
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
