Ingredients

• 2 pounds Fresh mussels
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 whole Shallots, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken or seafood broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 whole Roma tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 loaf Crusty bread for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

Step 2

In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and soft but not browned.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and chicken (or seafood) broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the diced Roma tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 6

Gently place the mussels into the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Step 7

Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the mussels and give it a light toss to combine.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls with the broth, paired with crusty bread for dipping, if desired.
