Mussels & white wine recipe

Hello dears!!!
Summer is here, with high temperatures and not so much desire to stay in a hot kitchen cooking :)
Well this recipe is fast and the it can be a perfect romantic dinner for your loved one.

I absolutely adore seafood and mussels in particular, especially with a glass with a wine ;)

So let's get down to business.

Ingredients:

• 1 kilo mussels
• 2 onions
• 7-8 garlic cloves 
• 1/2 kilo fresh tomatoes
• tomato juice 
• 1/2 glass of white wine 
• spices
• basil or parsley or mint 

Start by peeling and cleaning the garlic and onion, while keeping the mussels in fresh water. 

In a pot, fry the garlic and onion in a bit of butter and olive oil, then add water to cover the content. 

Be careful not to get splashed by hot oil, so cover the pot with a lid. Boil some water and then drop the tomatoes inside that pot - it helps to remove the peel faster. 

Add the tomatoes and tomato juice in the pot, along with the glass of wine and the spices. 

After 8-10 min, you can add the mussels as well. 

Cover them with a lid, and steam for another 7-8 min. Hint: the mussels which didn t open, throw them away.  

 

You can serve them warm with the sauce in which they boiled or next to some pasta. A glass of wine is mandatory :) 

Et voila: 

Kiss, kisses,
