Preparation method

How do you make this?

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 have opened.

Serving: Remove the pan from the heat as soon as all the mussels are open. Serve immediately with warm rolls to dip into the flavorful broth.
