Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Fresh mussels
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 whole Shallots, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Chicken or seafood broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 whole Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf Crusty bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and soft but not browned.
Pour in the white wine and chicken (or seafood) broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the diced Roma tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Gently place the mussels into the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the mussels and give it a light toss to combine.
Serve hot in bowls with the broth, paired with crusty bread for dipping, if desired.
