Ingredients
- 20-25 mussels cleaned and towel-tried, large, fresh
- 3 TB extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 can 14.5 oz fire-roasted tomatoes, with juices
- ½ cup white wine use one you'd like to drink, good quality, dry
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- ¼ cup basil for garnish, or parsley, freshly chopped
Instructions
- Be sure mussels are de-bearded, cleaned, and towel-dried to remove as much excess water as possible. Set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Once oil is hot, add onion and stir/cook until soft. Add garlic and stir 1 minute, until fragrant. Add can of tomatoes with juices and wine, stirring well to combine and heat through, 1-2 min. Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add mussels in a single layer in pan, cover with lid, and lower heat to simmer. Simmer just until all mussels are opened. Remove from heat and discard any mussels that haven't opened.
- Serve warm, with chopped herb of your choice for garnish.
Notes
- The broth is delicious when soaked up with your choice of rustic bread! Feel free to sprinkle on freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired for extra yum.
