Hosting season is upon us, and this is one to keep up your sleeve.
Spicy tomato butter mussels, plenty of crusty bread, and very little time spent in the kitchen. Our Greenshell™ Mussels are already cooked, so they only need a few minutes in the sauce before they’re ready to hit the table.
You’ll need:
1 pouch Omega Seafood Greenshell™ Mussels (1kg), natural juices included
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small shallot (or ½ onion), finely diced
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp tomato paste
400g crushed tomatoes
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
A handful of fresh basil
Crusty sourdough or baguette
Lemon wedges, optional
To make it:
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Stir through the chilli flakes and tomato paste, add the crushed tomatoes and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Add the mussels along with all those natural juices from the pouch. Gently fold through and heat for just 2-3 minutes. Don’t boil them, they’re already fully cooked.
Finish with fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon, then get it straight to the table with plenty of warm crusty bread for that sauce.
