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.
