MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Mussels and Clams with Spicy Tomato Broth image

A spicy, brothy bowl of mussels and clams is at home in any season. Serve it with thick slices of crusty baguette, toasted and rubbed with raw garlic, for a sensational, simple meal any day of the week. This broth gets its heat from both fresh red peppers like Fresno or serrano chiles, and a dose of pinched red pepper flakes. You control the heat by what kind of pepper you choose - Fresno for subtle heat or serrano for a spicier edge. The wine, however, is not optional. Pinot grigio, both for cooking and drinking, is this broth's best bet.

Categories     Mussels

Time 40m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

30 small mussels
3 medium tomatoes, peeled,seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup white wine

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels with open shells or cracked shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Before cooking, clean the mussels by scrubbing them with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a large pot: Mussels will expand as they cook, so use a large pot to prevent them from overcrowding.
