Ok so the pics are not gonna be top quality photos but I just took pictures with my iphone as I went along making this..
This is the third time making this recipe..it's really good if you like mussels!
So the cook book is called 'Cooking the Catch' by Dave 'Pops' Masch..my dad has had this for years and we always use it when we are cooking seafood
So, I never know how many mussels to buy...I went with a 2lbs bag and it seemed to be the perfect amount. My Dad loves them and I only kinda like them so I only had about 5 and my Dad had the rest (my Mom does not like them). I love the sauce but something about eating a mussel grosses me out a little...especially after I examine them...If I just pop them in my mouth its okay or if I have a few drinks before hand... haha..
Alrighty!! First you want to soak and scrub the mussels. These ones I got at Big Y and they were already pretty clean already. Make sure to toss any that are broken or hallow know as 'clunkers'
Now lets get cookin!!! Since I went with 2lbs, I doubled the recipe so we could have extra sauce for dippin bread.
First, chop up the herbs; Tarragon, Parsley, Basil, Oregano, Fresh Garlic, and some Red Hot Pepper Flakes... Mmmm I love the smell of freshly chopped herbs.
Now toss all the herbs into the pan with the bottom covered in EVOO
Yumm...this part smelled soooooooo good...Sautee for 3 mins..
Then add the can of diced tomatoes...
Let this simmer for 15 mins..
Next is to add in the wine and mussels!!
In the hot tub they go!
Cover and let cook for about 7 mins..
Mmmm! look at that steamy goodness!
Now serve with French bread and enjoy!!!!
Here is the recipe!
Until next time!!
