Mussels With Tomatoes And Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil on a medium heat in a large saucepan with lid (large enough to hold the mussels).
• Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for about one minute.
• Add the onion, celery, and tomato and cook until the onions and celery are tender.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the wine and cook an additional 10 minutes, adding water if required to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
• Add the mussels stirring to coat, cover, and cook until the shells open (5 to 10 minutes).
• Spoon the mussels and sauce into four bowls and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water, leave for 3 mins, then drain and peel. Quarter the tomatoes and scoop out and discard the seeds using a teaspoon. Roughly chop the tomato flesh.
• Heat the oil in a large pan with a tight- fitting lid. Add the garlic, shallot and chilli, then gently fry for 2-3 mins until softened. Pour in the wine and add the tomatoes, paste, sugar and seasoning (mussels are naturally salty so take care with the salt). Stir well and simmer for 2 mins.
• Tip in the mussels and give them a stir. Cover tightly and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan halfway through, until the shells have opened.
• Discard any shells that remain shut, then divide the mussels between two bowls and add the basil leaves. Provide a large bowl for the empty shells.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, melt the butter.
• Add the onions, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and tomatoes, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the wine, parsley, and bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, cover, and cook until the shells have opened, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and discard any shells that do not open.
• Transfer to a large deep bowl and serve immediately. Make sure to have spoons available as this broth is good!

Steps:

• In a tall pot over low to medium heat soften the onion in olive oil, butter and curry. Stir frequently.
• Once the onion is glassy add the garlic for two or three minutes.
• Add tomato, herbs and pepper, turn heat to full and reduce sauce for a few minutes.
• Add soya sauce and white wine and reduce sauce for another few minutes.
• Add the mussels, give a good stir and put on the lid to create steam for 2 minutes.
• After 2 minutes stir again and replace lid.
• After another 2 minutes stir again and replace lid.
• After another 2 minutes serve with delicious bread for mopping up the garlicky tomato wine sauce.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onions, celery, garlic, basil and bouquet garni, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until softened but not browned.
• Mix in the tomato paste and tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
• Put the mussels in a casserole dish with the wine, over high heat, and bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes only, until the mussels have opened, stirring frequently to ensure they are evenly cooked.
• Pour off the cooking liquid, discard any mussels that have not opened, and return the opened mussels, in their shells, to the casserole dish.
• Pour the hot tomato sauce over the mussels and heat through. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve at once.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy medium pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juices, whole onion, basil and 1 tablespoon oregano to pot.
