SPICY MUSSELS IN WHITE WINE



Spicy Mussels in White Wine image

Provided by Alan Herman

Categories     Shellfish     Mussel     Hot Pepper     White Wine     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield 6 Appetizer Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dry white wine
2 1/4-inch-thick lemon slices
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/2 pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper and salt; sauté until onion is light brown, about 4 minutes. Add wine, lemon slices and 1/4 cup parsley; bring to boil. Add mussels. Cover pot and cook until mussel shells open, stirring once to rearrange mussels, about 6 minutes; discard any mussels that do not open. Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large shallow bowl. Boil broth in pot until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 minutes; season to taste with pepper. Pour broth over mussels. Sprinkle tomatoes and remaining parsley over.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest mussels you can find. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold running water. Remove any barnacles or seaweed from the shells.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will overpower the flavor of the mussels.
  • Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Cook them until the shells open, which should only take a few minutes.
  • Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best served hot, so make sure to serve them as soon as they're cooked.

Conclusion:

Spicy mussels in white wine is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The briny flavor of the mussels pairs perfectly with the acidity of the white wine and the heat of the chili peppers. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table!
