MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Mussels and Clams with Spicy Tomato Broth image

A spicy, brothy bowl of mussels and clams is at home in any season. Serve it with thick slices of crusty baguette, toasted and rubbed with raw garlic, for a sensational, simple meal any day of the week. This broth gets its heat from both fresh red peppers like Fresno or serrano chiles, and a dose of pinched red pepper flakes. You control the heat by what kind of pepper you choose - Fresno for subtle heat or serrano for a spicier edge. The wine, however, is not optional. Pinot grigio, both for cooking and drinking, is this broth's best bet.

MUSSELS IN LIGHT BROTH



Mussels in Light Broth image

Rasam, as prepared in most homes in Southern India, uses either tamarind or tomatoes as the base. One night when I was a teenager, I was out to dinner with my brother Tom in New York City's Little Italy and ate mussels cooked in a light tomato broth very reminiscent of rasam. I couldn't wait to get home, buy fresh mussels, and cook them in rasam.
