Mussels

Grilled Baguette

Method

Preparing the Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells and removing any beards. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Tomatoes

    Pour in the white wine and add the diced heirloom tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Mussels

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

  5. 5

    Finish with Butter and Parsley

    Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped parsley just before serving.

Grilling the Baguette

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the Calabrian chili baguette into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 7

    Grill the Baguette

    Brush each slice with olive oil and grill on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly charred.
