Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- Pinch saffron (optional)
- 1 tsp flour
- ½ c water (or fish stock)
- ¼ c dry wine (Albariño or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 2 lbs mussels
- sliced baguette (to serve)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet with a lid (or saucepan) over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions have softened, 3 minute.
- Add the tomato and saffron (if using), sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the flour and mix in until moistened.
- Add the water (or fish stock), wine and mussels. Cover and steam the mussels for 5-8 minutes, until they have opened.
- Once the mussels open, remove them from the saucepan and place them onto a serving platter (to keep them from over-cooking). Pour the sauce from the pan over the mussels on the serving platter.
- Serve the mussels with the sauce, a sliced baguette and some Albariño wine.
