Mussels in tomato sauce

Mussels in tomato sauce

Mussels in tomato sauce is a simple yet sophisticated Mediterranean dish. Fresh or frozen mussels are quickly sautéed with garlic, then simmered in tomato sauce with white wine, basil and chili pepper. The flavor secret is not to overcook the mussels to keep them tender. The dish turns out aromatic, with a slight spiciness and rich tomato flavor. Served with croutons or fresh baguette to enjoy all the delicious sauce.
