• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. Clean the mussels under cold running water, removing any beards and debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

4. Add the mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Verdict:

Mussels a la marinera is a quick and easy dish that is packed full of flavor. The tomato-based sauce complements the fresh mussels perfectly, and the addition of white wine and parsley gives the dish a sophisticated taste. This recipe is perfect for a dinner party or a romantic meal for two.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the mussels with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish also pairs well with a crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
