Garlic Lemon Mussels in Fresh Tomato Sauce
Fresh mussels steamed in a vibrant, garlicky tomato sauce infused with zesty lemon and finished with a sprinkle of aromatic parsley.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 lb Mussels
2 cup Fresh tomatoes
0.5 cup Yellow onion
4 clove Garlic
0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 whole Lemon
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.5 slice Sourdough bread
PREPARATION
Scrub the mussels under cold running water and remove the hairy beards.
In a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in the diced tomatoes, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer the tomato mixture for 8 to 10 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices to form a sauce.
Place the mussels into the skillet and pour the fresh lemon juice over them.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
Remove the lid, discard any mussels that did not open, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately in shallow bowls with a slice of toasted sourdough bread to soak up the sauce.
