Steamed Chilli Mussels in Tomato Sauce

Willa Mcdonald

Report

Steamed Chilli Mussels in Tomato Sauce without wine, a delightful appetizer that looks posh enough to be served at a fancy restaurant. It's really quick and easy to make with a handful of ingredients like garlic, flaked chilli peppers, Sichuan peppers, tomatoes, butter, olive oil and parsley, and, the very star of this dish, fresh mussels. So simple, absolutely delicious!

Instructions

Peel and chop the shallots and garlic.
In a large pot, add the butter and olive oil and allow the butter to melt.
Add the shallots and garlic and fry until they soften up.
Add the chopped tomatoes, chilli flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, salt and black pepper, give everything a good stir, then leave the tomatoes to simmer until they are mushy.
Add the water, give it a mix, then add the mussels.
Place a lid on the pot and leave them to steam for 5-6 minutes until the mussels open up.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure they mussels are closed when you cook them. Once the cooking time is up, discard of any mussels that have not opened up, those will not be safe for consuming.
Do not discard of the tomato sauce, it's incredibly flavourful and can be enjoyed with any crusty bread of your choice. Just dip the bread into the sauce, it's sheer heaven, I kid you not!
