This recipe combines the classic flavors of Italy with fresh shellfish.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 lbs mussels (choose fresh mussels that are tightly closed, and rinse them well under running water before cooking)
  • salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, and parsley and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels and stir until combined with the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer until the mussels are open and cooked, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
