An exquisite Italian dish for festive and romantic dinners!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. I recommend to everyone a wonderful culinary recipe for a traditional Italian dish. Mussels in shell halves with tomato sauce are the real Italian food.
  2. For cooking, we need a large cauldron or, in extreme cases, a pan with thick walls.
  3. Pour oil on it, add garlic and thyme, and heat for 2-3 minutes. During this time, the oil will be saturated with aroma. Add the washed mussels to the cauldron. Then add wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes over the slowest heat. At the same time, the mussels must open up. Those who do not do this in 7-8 minutes should be removed and thrown away, they will not work. After that, we catch the opened mollusks and transfer them to a separate bowl, where they should cool. When the mussels have cooled down, they need to be cleaned of their shells. But don't rush to throw away all the shells. Leave exactly half, they will still come in handy. We extract thyme and garlic from the cauldron. Now add tomatoes and their juice, red pepper, apple cider vinegar and a little salt there. Then this mixture should be cooked slowly, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes homogeneous (about 15 minutes). As a result, we get the sauce.
  4. Now it remains to add mussels to it and stew a little, but no more than 1 - 1.5 minutes.
  5. Now we serve the dish, but in a special way: put mussels in each empty shell and pour the sauce. Decorate the top with green onions. The dish is now ready to serve.
