Mussels

Mussels in a light garlicky, chopped tomato white wine broth

In the video i make this two ways! Lazy beach day version (because who has time after a long beach day to make a sauce?) and a quick flavorful broth that you can eat with a spoon!

Cook Time 30 days
Course Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine healthy, Italian
Servings 2
Calories 8 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium white onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic dorot frozen cubes or chopped fresh
  • 2 cloves basil froen cubes or 1/4c chopped fresh
  • 1 dash thyme
  • 1 dash hot pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or 2 tbsp dried
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 28oz can Chopped tomatoes low sodium
  • 1 cup dry white wine i used a good chardonnay
  • 2 1/2 lbs mussels washed and discard the opened ones

Instructions
 

  • First you wash your mussels. I do this individually. They should come debearded but if they don't just pull them off. I always get a few i have to pull off. Don't know what a beard is? Then it's not right in front of you…
  • Discard the opened mussels if when you tap on them they don't close. If they close they are still alive and so they're fresh and good to go.
  • Heat a large pot on medium heat. Add oil, onion ,garlic, basil and stir. Wait until it's translucent and then add the chopped tomatoes. Sometimes i add a little wine here to scrape up the onion after it's cooked .
  • Stir well and add the thyme, parsley, salt and hot pepper. Add the wine, boil and then simmer medium for about 5 minutes. If there isn't enough broth at this time add a little water.
  • Add the mussels stir well. Cover and then open them every minute and stir from the bottom. Wait until they are all opened. Should take about 10 minutes.

Notes

! mussel is only 9 calories and 1g of protein per serving! That’s what makes this a healthy low calorie dish. The broth itself is also healthy and low calorie with light ingredients. If you eat 30 mussels you get
less than 300kcal meal
30g of protein which is very filling
Pair this with a soup or salad for a complete meal. If you wanted this as an appetizer eat about 10 mussels and move on with a slice of pizza and salad 🙂
