Mediterranean Tomato & Garlic Mussels

A quick and easy recipe!

Ingredients:


20 fresh mussels, well scrubed and de-bearded
3 Tbsp olive oil
6-8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 can chopped tomatoes with juice or equivalent fresh ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
½ cup dry white wine
2 Tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped for garnish Salt and pepper to taste


Method:


  1. Heat oil over a medium heat and cook onion until soft, then add garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add tomatoes and wine and cook for a couple more minutes, stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  3. Make sure all the water is drained out of the mussels and add them to the pot. Steam for 3 to 4 minutes with the lid on or until the mussels have opened. Give the pot a good shake during steaming to allow flavour to mix with the mussels.
