1 zucchini 1 fennel 4 tbsp olive oil Pepper Salt 1 kg mussels 10 cherry tomatoes 100 ml liquid (white wine, Hierbas, pastis…)
1 zucchini 1 fennel 4 tbsp olive oil Pepper Salt 1 kg mussels 10 cherry tomatoes 100 ml liquid (white wine, Hierbas, pastis…)
Preparing the vegetables: Cut the zucchini into slices and the fennel into thin strips. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the vegetables. Sauté them over medium heat until they start to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with pepper and salt.
Preparing the mussels: Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold water and remove any broken ones or mussels that do not close after a tap. Add the mussels to the pan with the vegetables along with the cherry tomatoes.
Finishing with liquid: Pour the chosen liquid (white wine, Hierbas, or pastis) over the mussels and vegetables. Turn the heat up high and let everything boil for about 3 minutes with a lid on the pan, until the mussels open.
Serving: Remove the pan from the heat as soon as all the mussels are open. Serve immediately with warm bread rolls to dip into the flavorful broth.
Use pastis for an anise flavor that goes well with the fennel. Serve a fresh salad for a complete dish. You shouldn't eat mussels that did not open after cooking.
