Serve these fragrant plump mussels with slices of crusty baguette.
Ingredients
- 3 lb mussels
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-1/2 tsp herbes de Provence or dried basil
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
Rinse mussels and snip off any beards. Discard any that do not close when tapped. Set aside.
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic and herbes de Provence, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste; bring to boil over high heat and boil until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Add mussels; stir well. Cover and steam over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Sprinkle with parsley.
