• 2 tomatoes, deseeded and diced

• Crusty bread to serve

How To Make Mussels Recipe?

1. Melt the Butter: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, then melt the butter.
2. Cook Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
3. Add Wine: Turn up the heat, pour in the wine, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes and Mussels: Stir in the tomatoes, then add the mussels and mix to coat in the sauce.
5. Cook Mussels: Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook for 6-8 minutes until the mussels open.
6. Finish and Serve: Stir in the parsley, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

Recipe Tips:

• Clean the Mussels Well: Make sure to scrub the mussels and remove the “beard” (the fibers sticking out) to avoid any dirt or grit.
• Use Dry White Wine: A dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc adds the right flavor to the sauce and helps balance the dish.
• Cook the Mussels Until Open: Mussels are ready when they open up. Don’t cook them too long, or they’ll become tough.
• Taste Before Adding Salt: Mussels can be salty on their own, so taste before adding extra salt to the dish.
• Serve Immediately: Mussels are best served fresh and hot, right after cooking, to keep them tender and flavorful.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover mussels cool to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Heat the mussels in a pan with a splash of water or broth on low for 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.
