Categories     Mussels

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs mussels
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 roma tomato, peeled, seeded and cut in large dice
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons light butter

Steps:

  • Rinse the mussels under cold running water while scrubbing with a vegetable brush. Remove "beard" from each mussel. Tap any open mussels gently a few times: if they don't close, discard them. Discard any with broken shells.
  • Heat oil in a 6 to 8-quart stockpot. Saute the onion, garlic, and thyme for at least 5 minutes. Add the mussels and give them a good toss. Add wine, lemon juice, chicken broth and red pepper flakes; cover the pot and steam over medium-high for 5 minutes until the mussels open.
  • Toss in the tomato, parsley and butter, recover the pot, and steam for another minute to soften. Serve with rice and grilled garlic bread to sop up the broth.
