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.

MUSSELS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

50 to 60 mussels
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot or onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 leaves basil
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the mussels and put them in a large saucepan on high heat. Sprinkle in the white wine, cover and cook until the mussels open. Remove from heat as soon as they have opened, strain off the liquor and keep it.
  • Debeard the mussels and discard one-half of each shell. Set the mussels in half-shells on a serving dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soften the shallots in the olive oil over moderate heat and add about one cup of the mussel cooking liquor.
  • Reduce the mussel liquor until it has almost disappeared, then add the tomatoes, heat through and add the garlic. Warm through again to drive off some but not all of the volatility of the garlic, then add the basil, freshly snipped. Add the parsley and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the mussels through in the oven; don't overdo it or they will toughen. Spoon the sauce into the mussel shells and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest mussels possible. Look for mussels with tightly closed shells that are free of cracks or chips. If a mussel's shell is open, tap it gently. If it closes quickly, it is alive and safe to eat. If it remains open, discard it.
  • Scrub the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Rinse the mussels under cold water and drain.
  • Use a large pot to cook the mussels. A large pot will allow the mussels to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Bring the broth to a boil before adding the mussels. This will help to kill any bacteria that may be present.
  • Cook the mussels just until they open. Overcooked mussels will become tough and chewy. Cook the mussels for 5-7 minutes, or until they open. Discard any mussels that do not open after cooking.
  • Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or rice.

Conclusion:

Mussels with tomato broth is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your mussels are cooked perfectly and that you have a delicious and satisfying meal.
