Ingredients:
1 kg of mussels
Fundamento
2 shallots
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
400g of diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of white wine
Chives
Clean the mussels thoroughly, removing any beards and scrubbing the shells. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Finally, add the chopped red bell pepper to the pot and cook until it softens. Stir in the diced tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened. Discard any that do not open.
Serve the mussels, add a broth spoon, and top it with chives and olive oil.
