Ingredients
1
kg
shell-on frozen mussels
debearded and scrubbed thoroughly
1
red onion
4
garlic cloves
400
g
diced tomatoes
200
ml
dry white wine
I used Chardonnay
1
pinch
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt
1
bundle of parsley
200
g
whole-wheat baguette
Instructions
Peel and finely slice the onion and the garlic cloves.
Heat up a pot on medium heat, add the onions and stir for 1 minute, then add the garlic and stir again for one minute.
Pour 100 ml of white wine and leave to simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the rest of the wine, the tomatoes and the mussels.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.
Put the lid on and boil for 10 minutes.
Take the lid off, gently stir and leave to boil for 10 more minutes without the lid.
Discard all the shells that didn't open (they are not edible).
Slice the baguette diagonally.
Heat a grill pan and grill the bread slices on each side for 3 minutes.
Serve hot with freshly chopped parsley and the grilled toast rubbed with garlic. Enjoy!
Notes
I used frozen mussels that were already scrubbed and debearded, I just washed them thoroughly with cold water before using them.
