Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots minced
- 1.5 cups of quartered grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 lbs mussels in the shell scrubbed clean
- 6 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups seafood or fish stock
- Whole-wheat sourdough bread toasted, for serving
Instructions
- Clean mussels by scrubbing and removing beards. Discard any cracked or open mussels.
- Sauté shallots and garlic in olive oil and butter until fragrant and softened.
- Add grape/cherry tomatoes, cook until they soften, then pour in white wine. Simmer briefly.
- Add cleaned mussels, season with dried thyme and sea salt, and cover to cook until they open. Discard any unopened mussels.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then serve mussels and broth in bowls with whole-wheat sourdough bread on the side.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh mussels for the best flavor and texture. Frozen mussels may work as well but could alter the taste of the dish.
- For a thicker sauce, let it simmer on low heat for a few extra minutes before adding in the mussels.
- This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal option.
