👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Thoroughly clean the mussels under cold running water. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped, or any with broken shells.

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped shallots (or onion) and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 4
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
- 5
Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- 6
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover tightly and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Shake the pot occasionally.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking. - 7
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and basil (if using) just before serving.
- 8
Serve immediately in bowls, spooning the flavorful broth over the mussels. Accompany with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The broth is as important as the mussels themselves!
