Mussel Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Stir in the diced tomatoes, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. 4

   Add Mussels

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