We love mussels, especially when they are caught in the UK and we love jazzing them up. This recipe is full of flavour yet so quick to prepare.

Ingredients

  • Mussels (1.5kg)
  • Bell Pepper
  • Shallot
  • Garlic (2 cloves)
  • Olive Oil (4 tbsp)
  • Cherry Tomatoes (10 slice in half)
  • White Wine (splash)
  • Parsley (small bunch chopped)
  • Feta Cheese (100g)

Method

STEP 1
Prepare the mussels. Clean and remove the beard. Tap any open mussels and discard any that do not close, they are dead and should not be eaten.

STEP 2
Place the pepper, shallot/onion, and garlic into a blender and blend until finely chopped.

STEP 3
Heat a large pot (with a lid) over a medium heat, add the olive oil, then pour in the vegetable mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

STEP 3
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and the mussels to the pot, pour in a splash of white wine or water, cover with the lid and cook at a high heat for 8 minutes. Shake the pan to mix the mussels every 2 minutes.

STEP 4
Remove the lid, making sure all the mussels are open (discard any that have remained closed). Sprinkle with the crushed feta and chopped parsley, and serve.
