Yield Makes 6 to 8 first-course servings or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb zucchini (about 2 to 3 medium), coarsely chopped
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1 medium shallot, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 lb cultivated mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
Garnish: chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Purée zucchini, basil, shallot, garlic, water, salt, pepper, and oil (in batches if necessary) in a blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer zucchini purée to a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot and add mussels. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over moderately high heat, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels just open wide (check frequently after 5 minutes and discard any mussels that remain unopened after 8 minutes).

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but this recipe changed my mind. The mussels were cooked perfectly, and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I like recipes that are simple and easy to follow. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe turned out terrible. The broth was watery and bland, and the mussels were rubbery. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This recipe was just okay. The mussels were a bit tough, and the broth was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The broth was a bit too bland for my taste, and the mussels were a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
