Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells and removing any beards. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are soft. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sauce

    Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the Mussels

    Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley and basil. Serve the mussels in bowls, ladling the sauce over them, and enjoy!
