ingredients
-
50 fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 spring onions, chopped
-
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
-
225ml (8 fl oz) white wine
-
30g (1 oz) butter
-
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
preparation method
- Place mussels in a large bowl with cold water to cover. Let them soak for about 20 minutes to remove any dirt or sand.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic, and sauté for one minute, but do not brown. Add the chopped spring onion and tomatoes, and cook until almost tender. Pour in the white wine, and stir in the parsley and butter. Bring to a boil, and allow to boil until the liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the mussels to the pot, cover and allow to cook until the shells are opened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the mussels and sauce to a large serving bowl, discarding any unopened shells. Bon appétit!
