Zupa Di Cozze 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

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped fennel, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Wine

   Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes, and white wine. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Mussels

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Remove from heat, and stir in chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the stew hot with crostini on the side.
