Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Remove the beards if necessary.

2

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Add Wine and Tomatoes

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the diced roma tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

4

Cook Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

5

Finish with Basil

Once cooked, stir in the chopped basil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
