Mussels on a tomato vine sauce

 

 

This is one of my fav dishes. I just love seafood and this one, is fixed in like 20 minutes and perfect for any season. This recipe is enough for 2 people

1 sm. can of pelati (peeled chopped tomatoes)
3 whole cloves garlic (chopped)
1 sm. onion (chopped)
1/2 c. dry white wine
1 tbsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. parsley
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 kilo fresh mussels
Olive oil
3 c. water
1 baguette

Put oil into a big pot and fry the garlic and the onions, don’t burn them or it will taste bitter. Add the tomatoes out of the can and turn down the heat a bit. Pour the white vine over it and let it cook for like 5 minutes. Add basil and oregano, stir. Add the mussels and stir them so they get mixed with the sauce. Steam the mussels for like 10 minutes then stir and see if they are open yet. If not cook for 5 more minutes. Add the parsley, salt and pepper. Careful with the salt, the mussels are already slightly salty.

Serve it with the baguette to dip the sauce. ;)
